When Trucks and Motorcycles Collide in California
Crashes involving trucks or passenger vehicles of all sizes and motorcycles are especially frightening because of the height and size difference between these two types of vehicles. In 2017, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reported that due to their weight being greater than that of cars, these larger vehicles are more likely to push and damage smaller vehicles.
It will come as no surprise that, especially in California, motorcycles are particularly vulnerable on the road. Every driver must stay alert to their surroundings and protect one another by driving thoughtfully. While the cause of the accident described above remains under investigation, collisions between cars, trucks, and motorcycles tragically are common in California. The physical difference between these kinds of vehicles can make collisions between them more dangerous and harmful than collisions between vehicles of the same size.
