What Drivers Should Know About Crashes Involving Dump Trucks
Dump trucks are substantially larger and heavier than passenger vehicles, which can increase the force involved in a collision. Their size can also create larger blind spots around the vehicle.
Drivers traveling near dump trucks should maintain a safe following distance and avoid lingering in areas where the truck driver may have limited visibility. Extra space can give motorists more time to react if traffic slows.
Multi-vehicle crashes can also create additional hazards as vehicles move through the roadway. Drivers should remain alert for stopped traffic, damaged vehicles, and changing lane conditions near an active accident scene.
