Accidents involving semi-trucks can result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Collisions between large trucks and smaller passenger vehicles often lead to significant damage and long-term consequences for those involved.
In this crash, a pickup truck and a semi-truck collided, blocking both lanes on Excelsior Avenue. Such accidents may be caused by factors such as driver fatigue, distracted driving, or failure to yield. High-speed rural roads and intersections can also contribute to the severity of these crashes.
