What Can Make Crashes Involving Semi-Trucks More Serious?
Crashes between passenger cars and semi-trucks can result in significant damage because of the difference in vehicle size and weight. A large truck also requires more distance to slow or stop, which can affect how drivers respond to changing traffic conditions.
Intersections can create additional risks because vehicles approach from different directions. Drivers can reduce collision risks by following traffic signals, allowing enough space around large trucks, and remaining alert to vehicles entering or crossing their path.
