Truck and SUV Collisions in California
Collisions involving semi-trucks and passenger vehicles, such as SUVs, often result in significant injuries due to the size and weight disparity between the vehicles. Highways like Highway 99 are frequent sites of such incidents due to high traffic volumes and mixed vehicle types.
