Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas

According to reports provided by the national safety Council, approximately 15 percent of all motor vehicle accidents that take place are a result of drivers who fail to yield to oncoming traffic.

When drivers fail to yield the right of way, it often results in a serious or even fatal truck collision. The majority of these crashes occur at intersections, and they often involve trucks or other vehicles turning left while another vehicle is going straight or making a right turn. Turning trucks have large blind spots on both sides, so it’s important for other drivers to be aware of this and yield the right of way when appropriate.

There are various other circumstances where failure to yield the right of way can lead to a fatal truck crash as well. For example, if a truck is passing another vehicle on the highway, it’s important for the driver being passed to maintain a safe speed and not cut off the truck.
