Semi-Truck Rollover Crash in Texas

It is very likely that you will see trucks whenever you are driving since there are more than 15 million heavy trucks in the United States. The American transportation sector could not operate as it does today without these enormous vehicles. 2020 had a total of 4,014 fatal semi-truck accidents, which is 28% more fatalities involving semi-trucks than the previous year, 2009.

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, fatal crashes involving commercial vehicles happen virtually every day in Texas. Some of the most horrifying car accidents involve 18-wheelers. Semi-trucks and 18-wheelers commonly result in fatalities, serious injuries, and significant amounts of property damage because of their size. 

Drivers and the companies that employ them must abide by the law in order to protect other motorists. A large rig, which may weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, has the potential to result in much more serious physical injuries in the case of an accident.
