SAFETY * USA - Nebraska Begins Program

Omaha,NB,USA -KET TV -November 6, 2009: -- Some people get nervous when a 40-ton semitrailer passes by on the highway at 75 mph. They may have good reason to worry because a number of those trucks shouldn't be on the road... The KETV NewsWatch 7 I-Team discovered there's a new effort to keep everyone safe, one that people wish had arrived sooner... A simple memorial stands in the middle of Interstate 80 in western Nebraska. Flowers cover a cross in memory of Robyn Pittman... Pittman was part of a road crew that was working on a section of I-80 on Sept. 8 when a set of wheels came off a passing semitrailer, careened across the median and hit her... Investigators said they found a number of safety violations on the truck. They said it shouldn't have been on the road... The Nebraska State Patrol is now teaching law enforcement officers how to investigate the cause of big rig wrecks. The training sessions are the only ones of their kind in the country, drawing officers from across the United States... (SEE VIDEO) (Photo: The training uses trucks that were involved in a wreck and has someone sit in as the driver)
