Truck Accidents in Pennsylvania
In just the last year alone, there were well around 170,000 truck accidents nationwide. Furthermore, in terms of the number of truck accidents, Pennsylvania trailed closely behind Florida, Texas, and California—the states with the highest rates of these collisions. Unfortunately, the Commonwealth saw almost 12,000 truck accidents, ranking fourth nationally. Even worse, many more people were injured, in addition to a maximum of 300 fatalities resulting from these accidents.
Truck accidents are a major problem throughout the nation, and Pennsylvania is no exception. Our state has a large interstate and highway network, which adds to its heavy truck traffic. Moreover, these cars’ sheer bulk and weight might result in catastrophic collisions.
