Eric Flack and his team at WUSA 9, over the course of this last year, investigated the truck underride problem and attempts to get it solved once and for all. They even won a prestigious Edward A. Murrow journalism award for their hard work in looking into this complex and multi-layered traffic safety/public health issue.
Now all the separate episodes of their series are put together in this impressive full-length documentary of the underride tragedy:
WUSA 9 continues to cover our efforts to bring about a comprehensive underride protection mandate which will ensure that — one day — all trucks on the road will be much safer to travel around. I look forward to them adding a final episode to their underride story because I know that the best is yet to come.
