Accidents involving large trucks can have
devastating consequences. Because eighteen-wheelers weigh so much more
than an average car, the impact is much more severe than an accident involving
vehicles similar in size. In 2007, more than 5,000 people died in crashes
involving large trucks in the United States.
In addition to the size of the truck,
driver fatigue is another factor that makes these accidents to dangerous.
Recent studies have shown that one in five semi truck drivers reported that
they have fallen asleep behind the wheel at lease once in the course of a
month.
