Pickup Truck Accidents in Florida
Pickup trucks are among the most common vehicles involved in Florida traffic crashes due to their size, weight, and frequent use in both urban and rural areas. Even at low speeds, collisions involving pickups can cause significant injuries, especially when smaller passenger vehicles are involved.
Driver distraction, failure to yield, and sudden lane changes are some of the leading causes of accidents at intersections like Clark Rd and Hummingbird Ave. Even when vehicle damage appears minor, victims may suffer from whiplash, back injuries, or other underlying conditions that require medical attention.
To help prevent crashes, drivers should remain vigilant at intersections, check blind spots, and allow extra stopping distance—especially when driving larger vehicles like pickup trucks. Following speed limits and maintaining awareness of cross-traffic can also reduce the risk of collisions.
