Frequently Asked Questions
What is an underride crash?
An underride crash happens when a smaller vehicle slides partly or fully beneath a truck's trailer, usually during a side or rear impact, usually causing severe injuries because the car's safety structure is compromised.
What are common causes of large-truck accidents?
Large-truck crashes commonly stem from driver fatigue, blind spots, mechanical failure, speeding, or a passenger vehicle misjudging a truck's stopping distance or turning radius.
How can drivers share the road with trucks safely?
Give trucks extra following distance, avoid lingering in blind spots alongside the trailer, and anticipate that trucks need more time and space to stop or turn.
Does driver fatigue contribute to truck crashes?
Yes. Long hours behind the wheel can slow reaction time for both truck and passenger-vehicle drivers, and fatigue is a factor regulators and investigators frequently examine after serious collisions.
