Truck accident involve large, over-the-road tractor-trailers, are generally the most deadly. The statistics are frightening: Every year, 500,000 large trucks, or "semis," are involved in accidents on our roads. Of these, 5,000 involve fatalities. In fact, 1 out of every 8 people killed in a traffic accident in the United States is killed in an accident involving a truck -- and it's usually the passengers of the vehicles struck by the trucks, not the truck drivers themselves.

There are three reasons why truck accidents are so dangerous: size, speed and driver fatigue. A fully loaded, over-the-road truck is a huge piece of machinery. When you put something like that on the road at speeds topping 60 miles an hour you get a monster that can run over anything in its path. Then, add the growing problem of driver fatigue. Truck drivers are under constant pressure to move cargo -- so much so, that 16-hour days are not uncommon. A recent study revealed that 20 percent of long-haul truck drivers reported they had fallen asleep at the wheel during the last 30-day period. It’s no wonder that people are killed when one in five drivers admit to falling asleep, leaving these giants with no one at the wheel.
