52-year-old Jason Gilbert of Gray, LA lost his life when a heavy load crashed into his truck cab. According to Louisiana State Police, “The initial investigation revealed that Gilbert was driving a 2007 Kenworth tractor trailer east on US 90. The trailer was carrying a heavy load. As the Kenworth approached the LA 306 intersection, it slowed for a red light. As it came to a stop, the heavy load on the trailer shifted causing the straps to break and the load to move forward, into the cab.”
