Relatively speaking, truck accidents aren’t all that common, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. However, when they do happen they’re far more likely to involve multiple vehicles, serious injuries, and even fatalities. This is due in major part to the sheer size of the trucks involved. While a car typically weighs around 3,000 pounds, a fully loaded truck can weigh over 70,000. With that force, fatalities and permanent injuries are more unfortunately more common.
