What Can Cause a Big Rig and Passenger Vehicle Crash?
Collisions between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles can produce significant damage because of differences in vehicle size and weight. Roadway conditions, traffic flow, following distance, lane changes, and visibility may all be examined when documenting how a crash occurred. The location and type of damage can also help establish where the vehicles made contact.
Photos of the vehicles and roadway can preserve details from the scene before conditions change. Witness accounts may provide information about vehicle movements immediately before the collision. Vehicle inspections can document mechanical condition and damage patterns. Medical evaluations can also record injuries and provide information about their severity.
