As is the case with many truck wrecks, the possibility for serious injury or death is increased exponentially. The sheer size of 18-wheelers leave normal vehicles virtually no chance in an accident. Whenever there are more than one big rigs involved, the outcome can be devastating.
While accidents on our roadways are inevitable, wrecks involving 18-wheelers oftentimes happen due to a culture within the trucking industry that breeds dangerous driving.
