Collisions between cars and trucks are usually far more damaging and dangerous for the person within the car. While the dangers to the drivers and passengers within the truck is not negligible, it is important to recognize that the size difference between the car and the truck is fairly large, and that trucks are therefore heavier and more likely to cause severe damage to the smaller vehicle. This concept was illustrated to a tragic level in the middle of December, when a 25-year-old woman died after being involved in a collision with a box truck.

Multi-Car Crash Kills One in Osceola County
While each different type of collision – head-on, T-bone, rear-end – carries with it a different sort of danger, there is a unique horror faced by those involved in chain-reaction crashes. These, as one might know or easily deduce, are crashes that start small but ultimately involve numerous vehicles as the effects of the initial crash ripple outward. Crashes such as these are often the result of inclement weather, where rain or fog reduces visibility and prevents drivers from seeing pre-existing crashes, but they can also happen on days where no notable weather conditions are present.
