Vernice Rayvon of Killeen, Texas and Brody Phillips of Vernal, Utah died yesterday in a fatal trucking accident on Highway 220 outside of Casper, Wyoming. The investigation to date indicates that the truck driven by Mr. Phillips crossed into Mr. Rayvon’s lane of traffic causing a head on collision between the two tractor trailers. It is unknown at this time as to why Mr. Phillips crossed into the other lane of traffic, and investigators are looking into other contributing factors. the truck driven ny Mr. Phillips was owned by B&R Oil Service. Reports do note that Mr. Phillips, who also was killed in the trucking accident, was not wearing his seat belt while Mr. Rayvon was properly restrained.
While the cause of this specific collision is not known, our trucking accident attorneys see the same causes time and time again: driver inattention, fatigue, cell phone use, poor truck maintenance, and inexperienced/untrained drivers, just to name a few. Again, and statement as to what caused this specific trucking accident would be pure speculation, but with an investigation conducted by a qualified accident reconstruction expert, it will likely be easy for the families to determine what caused this particular collision.
