Truck Accidents in New Hampshire
Collisions involving tractor-trailers can be especially dangerous due to the significant size and weight difference between commercial trucks and passenger vehicles. Highways like I-93 see heavy truck traffic, making it crucial for drivers to remain alert and cautious, particularly in congested areas.
Accidents involving vehicles getting lodged under trailers—known as underride collisions—are among the most severe types of truck accidents. Factors such as low visibility, sudden lane changes, and driver distraction can contribute to these incidents. Safety measures like underride guards on trucks and increased driver awareness can help prevent such accidents.
For those injured in truck crashes, seeking medical care and understanding legal rights are crucial steps. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. As authorities continue their investigation into this accident, drivers in New Hampshire are urged to exercise caution when traveling near large commercial vehicles.
