I don't know if the Dept of transportation changed the law, but years ago, to legally obtain a CDL A you needed to read, write and understand the English language. Unfortunately these crashes will still happen throughout the country bc there are thousands of illegal CDL drivers, driving across the country. Carrying up to 80, 000 gross vehicle weight. Traveling at speeds of 55 and higher.
