This happened early in June, 2008. It’s really your run-of-the-mill accident, no injuries, but what I found interesting from the article is the box-van driver was 19. The Federal regulations require that vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 10,000 lbs. be at least 21. However, nearly all States allow drivers to drive commercial vehicles within their States at 18. I think I would be pretty cautious in putting an 18 or 19 year old in any type of truck, law or no law.
