Common Causes of Truck Accidents

Large trucks are more likely than passenger vehicles to be involved in fatal multiple-vehicle crashes. In 2012, there were 3,921 people killed and 104,000 people injured in crashes involving large trucks. Here are why trucks cause so many crashes:

Tractor-trailers are the heaviest vehicles on the road, and consequently, they have the most trouble stopping. At 65 mph, a car will take about 160 feet to come to a stop, but a large truck will need about 420 feet to stop. Even when a truck driver realizes that he needs to stop, sometimes he simply is not able to because he is traveling too fast and his truck weighs too much.
