With the presence of Interstate Highway 35 and the web of other roads, many 18-wheeler trucks can be found in San Marcos. Commercial 18-wheeler trucks weigh up to 25 times more than a standard passenger vehicle and, as such, can cause a catastrophic amount of damage. When a truck driver makes a seemingly small error in judgment, the outcome can be devastating. Even minor contact between a passenger car and an 18-wheeler can cause a passenger car to collide with oncoming traffic, and in extreme cases, it may cause the passenger car to flip over or crash against the side of the road. When driving in the vicinity of an 18-wheeler, it is crucial to exercise extreme caution.
Some frequent causes of 18 wheeler accidents are:
- Faulty equipment, such as a tire blowout or trailer problems
- Fatigue or recklessness on the part of the truck driver
- Insufficient training by the trucking company of their drivers
- Weather and road conditions.
