What Should Drivers Know About Large Truck Crashes?
Collisions involving passenger vehicles and large trucks can result in serious damage because of the significant difference in vehicle size and weight. Drivers should give commercial trucks plenty of space and avoid remaining alongside them for extended periods, particularly in areas where the truck may need to change lanes or turn.
A truck’s larger size can also create substantial blind spots around the vehicle. Motorists should make sure they can see the truck’s mirrors before assuming the driver can see them. When passing, drivers should move through the truck’s blind spots promptly and leave enough distance before returning to the lane.
Debris following a collision can create additional hazards for approaching motorists. Drivers should slow down when they encounter an active crash scene and avoid swerving suddenly to avoid objects in the roadway. Staying alert, maintaining a safe following distance, and allowing emergency crews room to work can help prevent secondary collisions.
