Every 15 minutes, one American is killed in a semi-truck accident. Around 500,000 trucking accidents occur in the United States, with approximately 5,000 truckers killed.

In a collision, larger automobiles generate more force than smaller vehicles. Anyone hit by a truck will be at a disadvantage in the accident. You will be attacked by the full force of the collision generated by the large, heavy truck, whether you are a driver or passenger in a smaller vehicle, a rider on a motorcycle or bicycle, or a pedestrian. A heavier truck generates more force as well.
