Injury Risks After Crashes Involving Tractor-Trailers
Crashes involving tractor-trailers can cause serious injuries because of the size and weight of the larger vehicle. When a truck, a pickup, and a car are all involved, each vehicle may sustain different levels of damage.
Highway crashes can also create added risks for approaching drivers. Damaged vehicles, debris, and blocked lanes may lead to sudden slowdowns, especially on busy routes.
After a multi-vehicle crash, emergency units often check for head injuries, neck pain, back trauma, broken bones, and internal injuries. Crews might also need extra time to remove damaged vehicles and clear the roadway before traffic can safely resume.
