Why Are Crashes Involving Tractor-Trailers More Serious?
Collisions involving tractor-trailers can be more severe due to the large size and weight differences between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles. Even at highway speeds, the forces involved can cause significant vehicle damage and serious harm to occupants of smaller vehicles.
After this type of accident, early reports frequently provide only limited information while more facts are collected. Information such as roadway conditions, traffic patterns, vehicle positions, and witness accounts may help explain what happened. Medical evaluations can also provide a clearer picture of the extent of injuries as treatment continues. Temporary lane closures are common following these collisions to allow damaged vehicles to be removed and to restore normal traffic flow safely.
