Frequently Asked Questions
What usually causes large-truck accidents?
Common factors include driver fatigue, distracted or impaired driving, speeding, poor visibility around a truck's blind spots, and other drivers running red lights or stop signs at intersections.
How can drivers share the road safely with trucks?
Give trucks extra space and time to stop or turn, avoid lingering in blind spots, and never try to beat a truck through an intersection on a changing light.
Does driver fatigue play a role in truck crashes?
Yes. Long hours behind the wheel can slow a driver's reaction time, and fatigue is a recognized factor in a meaningful share of crashes involving commercial trucks.
What should I do after a crash involving a commercial truck?
Call 911, move to safety if possible, seek medical evaluation even for minor injuries, and get the names of the responding agencies and any case or incident number.
