It is estimated that in the United States more than 5 million people are living with a permanent disability caused by traumatic brain injury. That number doesn’t include the 2.8 million cases reported each year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sadly, many of these individuals do not find the medical care and support they need to gain back control of their lives.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), along with individual states, sets clear safety regulations for all commercial vehicles that must be followed in order for 18-wheelers to operate within each state.

Unfortunately, Spring Break is also one of the most dangerous times for “Spring Break” counties that draw in more crowds. A 2015 study published in the Economic Inquiry found that fatal traffic accidents jumped by nearly 10% in certain regions, with a significant proportion of these accidents involving out-of-state drivers.
