The NTSB says more needs to be done to make tanker trailers less prone to rollovers

Reported by www.truckinginfo.com; The tanker was loaded with 9,001 gallons of liquefied petroleum gas, which escaped, formed a vapor cloud, and ignited. The rollover occurred on a connection ramp at the junction of I-69 south and I-465 south.

As a result of the accident and post-accident fire, the truck driver and the driver of the passenger car sustained serious injuries. Three occupants from other passenger vehicles received minor injuries from the post accident fire.

The National Transportation Safety Board has no regulatory power itself, but it issued 20 safety recommendations to other agencies, including several regarding manadatory stability control/anti-rollover systems.
