Every 16 minutes, a person is killed or sustains injuries in an accident involving 18-wheelers, tractor-trailers, or semi-trucks. No one wants to be hit by a truck due to their pure size and power which may leave victims critically injured or dead. Truck drivers sometimes contribute to this risk by driving fatigued. Other common causes are of accidents are drugs, alcohol, mechanical failure, bad weather, improper maintenance, overloaded cargo or bad judgment.
Each year the number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes has been increasing. As this figure rises, the threat of casualties resulting from accidents involving heavy trucks grows causing our roads to be more and more dangerous.
