| 摘要： | The accident that is the subject of this report occurred about 12:55 a.m. on June 7, 2014, on Interstate 95 (the New Jersey Turnpike) near Cranbury, New Jersey. A truck-tractor semitrailer operated by Walmart Transportation LLC was traveling northbound, in the center lane of the three-lane roadway. Near milepost 71.4, the truck encountered traffic that had slowed to less than 10 mph along a construction corridor. The truck was traveling 65 mph in a work zone that had a posted speed limit of 45 mph. The truck struck the left rear of a slowly moving limo van in the center lane. A series of impacts resulted from this initial contact. The limo van came to rest overturned on its left side across the center lane. Twenty-one people in six vehicles were involved in the crash. One limo van passenger died on scene, and four other limo van passengers were seriously injured. The safety issues in this report include enacting programs to address driver fatigue; improving work zone safety, including reducing vehicle speeds; assessing the limitations of, and means of enhancing, in-vehicle forward collision warning systems; using the safety data available through critical event recording systems; increasing passenger awareness of occupant restraint systems in passenger vehicles and ensuring that vehicle modifications do not reduce safety; and creating an acceptable minimum standard of care to be provided by emergency medical responders. As a result of the investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued recommendations to the Federal Highway Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the New Jersey Department of Health–Office of Emergency Medical Services, the New Jersey State First Aid Council, the National Limousine Association, Walmart Transportation LLC, Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC, Detroit Diesel Corporation, and Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems. The NTSB reiterated three recommendations to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and three recommendations to NHTSA. |
