A recent collision on Buford Highway in Duluth, Georgia, resulted in the driver of a truck being penalized. The Duluth Police Department (DPD) released video of the incident, captured by a citywide camera system, as a reminder to other drivers to use caution and follow the rules of the road.

The video shows a tractor-trailer trying to make a left turn and colliding with another vehicle, causing the trailer to separate from the truck. DPD found that the driver of the truck was at fault and was convicted of failing to yield the right-of-way, resulting in the collision and subsequent damage.

While DPD has not provided any info on wounds from the collision, this incident serves as a cautionary tale for all drivers. It is imperative to remain vigilant on the road, obey traffic laws and use caution when turning and changing lanes.

The citywide camera system used by DPD has proven to be a valuable tool for capturing such incidents, providing valuable evidence in the investigation and serving as a learning opportunity for other drivers. DPD's efforts to promote traffic safety and prevent accidents are commendable and should be supported by all members of the community.

We must continue to prioritize road safety and remain vigilant behind the wheel to prevent accidents and protect ourselves and others. Let's learn from this incident and work to create a safer and more responsible driving culture.
