Being involved in an accident with any type of vehicle in general can be a traumatic experience. Being involved in an accident with any type of large truck such as an 18 Wheeler, a delivery truck, a construction truck or any other type of large truck can be traumatic on a much larger scale.
The size and weight difference alone can cause serious, life-threatening injuries. A common place for intersection truck accidents in Houston to occur is at an intersection. In Texas, a rule of thumb at a 4-way intersection at a four-way stop, if two vehicles reach the intersection simultaneously, the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.
