Truck Accidents in Pennsylvania

Traffic researchers and data experts reported more than 150,000 truck accidents across the country during the past year or so. Furthermore, in terms of truck accidents, Pennsylvania trailed Florida, Texas, and California, the states with the highest rates of collisions.

Pennsylvania ranked fourth nationally. Even worse, many more people were injured, with a maximum of 300 deaths resulting from these accidents.
