Collisions involving large trucks, such as semi-trucks, often result in catastrophic outcomes, especially for occupants of smaller vehicles. Rural intersections, like those in the Stratford area, can present additional hazards due to limited visibility, high speeds, and complex traffic patterns. Truck accidents are often linked to factors such as driver fatigue, distracted driving, or mechanical failures.
California continues to see a significant number of truck-related fatalities each year, highlighting the need for enhanced road safety measures. Drivers are reminded to exercise caution around large vehicles, allowing for ample stopping distances and avoiding blind spots.
