When Do Driver Fatigue Accidents Happen?

In driver fatigue accidents, time of day and other factors become clues to proving negligence, and thus, liability in court. Collisions and close calls are most prevalent after midnight and before 6 a.m., and between 2 and 4 p.m.

Night-driving and "road trance", account for many of the after-dark drowsy driving accidents. The afternoon spike may be due to low blood sugar making already fatigued drivers sleepier.

Personal injury and wrongful death attorneys see a majority of driver fatigue car and truck accidents on rural or high-speed highways. If you've been injured in such a crash, a personal injury law firm can help you determine negligence and file a lawsuit.

Car Crashes into Building in Pittsfield

July 30, 2009 - Pittsfield, Ma - Pittsfield police responded to reports of a car crash this morning around 7:30 a.m. and found that a Honda Civic had crashed into the side of the Howard Building on the corner of First and Fenn streets.

The Honda had crashed through a vacant storefront's window, but did not physically penetrate the building. Another vehicle, a Toyota 4Runner SUV, was stopped diagonally in the middle of First street. While police are not yet providing information about the number of people involved in the car crash, at least several individuals were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment, according to reports.

Shortly after 8 a.m., both vehicles were transported from the scene and the fire was under control.

Police are currently investigating both accidents.
