With 1 in 3 drivers only medically qualified for short-term certification, and FMCSA policy updates arriving next month, fleets must treat driver fitness like the operational risk it is. A house in New Jersey hit by a truck might have been spared. The next one might not. The post When Health Becomes Highway Hazard appeared first on FreightWaves.

It highlights a specific case where a driver suffered a medical episode, causing a multi-vehicle crash. The piece emphasizes the need for drivers to be aware of their health conditions and take necessary precautions, such as regular check-ups and avoiding driving when feeling unwell. It also mentions the importance of bystanders calling emergency services promptly when they witness a driver in distress. The article underscores the broader implications of health-related driving incidents on road safety and calls for greater public awareness and preventive measures.
