Trinity Guardrail Study Finds Fatal Flaw
In 2005, Trinity Industries made changes to the dimensions of its ET-Plus guardrail systems without alerting the government. The result of that change has been injuries and even death due to the ET-Plus being prone to a potentially deadly malfunction. Critics of the ET-Plus system claim that its faulty design permits sections of the guardrail to break off and pierce through vehicles during collisions.
Faulty Trinity Guardrails May Have Caused Serious Injuries, Including:
- Broken bones
- Cuts
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries
- Paralysis
- Death

Multiple personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits have been filed against Trinity. Studies have indicated that the ET-Plus guardrail system can be almost four times more likely to cause a fatal crash than Trinity’s previous model.
A Nationwide Investigation with Missouri Roots
Most states have suspended ET-Plus installations over safety issues and many states are in the process of conducting an inventory of their existing ET-Plus systems. This discussion of Trinity’s guardrail safety has been fueled by a fatal Clay County, Missouri accident that occurred in January 2014, as well as a federal jury verdict in Texas. Missouri’s Department of Transportation (MoDOT) was one of the first states to recognize there was a safety issue and MoDOT has suspended the installation of the ET-Plus guardrail system based on those concerns.
