18-Wheeler Crashes in Texas

Any crash can cause serious injuries, but those involving large semi-trucks are much more likely to result in life-changing injuries. In these accidents, the occupants of passenger cars are more likely to sustain severe injuries and other damages that can make life difficult. Nearly 98 percent of the semi-truck crashes reported each year across the United States involve passenger vehicles. More than 5,000 people are killed and 130,000 injured in these collisions each year. Texas is the site of almost 10 percent of trucking accidents that take place annually in the United States. Commercial rigs travel billions of miles across the state’s highways each year.
