The Dangers of a Truck Accident

Trucks are significantly larger than other motor vehicles, which can lead to serious and deadly injuries when involved in a crash. Aside from the weight of a truck, it has blind spots that make it difficult for the driver to see other vehicles. Always stay clear of the blind spots to remain safe when driving near a truck. Trucks may also be carrying hazardous materials that can ignite or cause an explosion in the event of an accident.
