Tractor
trailer drivers sometimes become fatigued because they drive for long hours to make scheduled deliveries.
Not exact matches
These trucks are
sometimes full tractor
trailers, which can cause severely damaging injuries and even fatalities to other motorists and pedestrians, and the
drivers of such trucks have to shoulder a huge responsibility to be aware and alert at all times for other motorists and pedestrians.
Failing to check a blind spot
Sometimes a
driver may have to take a turn and not check their blind spot, causing a car riding alongside them to be struck by the
trailer of the truck, which may completely demolish or flip the other vehicle, again causing potentially devastating injuries to the other
driver.
These accidents result from
driver error, distracted driving, road conditions, load imbalance, and
sometimes trailer defects.
