Deadly Trucking Accidents in New Jersey
Driving is already pretty dangerous. When a big commercial truck is on the road, you are at even greater risk. In an accident, these enormous vehicles can be absolutely destructive, and passengers in smaller cars are far more likely to sustain injuries that could change their lives. Every year, over 500,000 major truck crashes occur in the United States, leaving thousands of people dead and numerous others injured. When completely loaded, these vehicles can weigh over 70,000 pounds, which is more than enough to cause a catastrophic accident when driving at highway speeds.
