Fatal Big Rig Crash Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently investigating the case. They will attempt to determine the factors and liability in this case.

Big rig crashes are generally more dangerous and fatal than other roadway accidents. It is much harder to veer away from big rigs during a collision due to their immense size. A fully loaded big rig needs as much as 20 to 40 percent more stopping distance.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), big rig trucks have increased by 30 percent since 2009. There were 4,102 traffic fatalities involving a big rig in 2017 alone.
