Fatigue. I have posted on this topic repeatedly. Trucking companies run their driver too hard, for money, and then mouth the words "I am sorry" as if all can be forgiven.

He agreed, however, that investigators probably will focus on the lack of skid marks from the truck, which apparently crossed the center line before striking the van. He identified the truck driver as Andrew David Carter, 31, of Tifton, Ga., who was taken to Baptist Medical Center South where he was treated and released.
