Falling Debris

Trucks haul a variety of material over short and/or large distances. They are used to transport construction material, logs, trees, garbage, hazardous material to the dumping grounds etc. Such cargo needs to be secured properly depending on the type. The law states that, a vehicle cannot be driven or moved on any highway unless the vehicle is so constructed, covered, or loaded as to prevent any of its contents or load other than clear water or feathers from live birds. Aggregate materials can only be carried in the cargo area of a vehicle. The cargo area can not contain any holes, cracks, or openings through which that material may escape, regardless of the degree to which the vehicle is loaded. Debris falling from improperly loaded trucks can cause serious car accidents.
