What Can Make Crashes Involving Semi-Trucks Serious?
Collisions between semi-trucks and passenger vehicles can cause substantial damage because of the difference in size and weight. The direction of travel, speed, point of impact, and location of the collision can affect the severity of the resulting injuries. A passenger vehicle may also sustain extensive damage when struck by a larger commercial truck.
Information from the crash scene can help establish how the vehicles collided. Vehicle damage, debris, roadway markings, witness accounts, and available video may provide useful details. Medical evaluations can also help document the extent of injuries after a serious truck crash.
