In a recent study, common causes of large truck accidents were investigated.

• Drug use was the most common accident cause. Whether it be illegal drugs or prescription medication, the drugs affected the driver’s reaction time.

• Speeding was also a common cause of accidents. Due to the additional weight of these large trucks, these crashes experienced more fatalities.

• Drivers are often unfamiliar with the area they are driving in. This unfamiliarity leads to numerous accidents every year.

• Driver fatigue leads to many accidents. While maybe not as common as originally thought, it is a contributing factor in may accidents.
