Commercial Truck Accidents in California
We would like to offer up our thoughts and prayers to those involved in this accident and hope that everyone made it out okay and recovers quickly from any injuries.
Shipping ports in both Long Beach, California and Los Angeles, California have the majority of their cargo delivered to them via commercial trucking companies. Interstate 10 and Interstate 5 are some of the most frequently traveled trucking routes that connect to these ports and, as a result, these stretches of highway see more tractor-trailer accidents than most others. Fatal crashes involving tractor-trailers occur mostly in rural areas and on interstate highways. Roughly 61% of all fatal tractor-trailer crashes occur in rural areas and about 27% occur on interstate highways. The remaining 15% breach both categories by taking place on rural interstate highways.
