NTSB releases final report on 2010 fatal Kentucky crash

"LOUISVILLE, Ky.— The National Transportation Safety Board on Wednesday released the final written report detailing a fatal 2010 truck crash that killed 11 people on a Kentucky highway, effectively closing the investigation. The 85-page report included the previously disclosed recommendation that truckers and bus drivers be barred from using a cellphone while operating a vehicle, one of the most significant highway safety measures recommended since the push for mandatory seat belts decades ago."
