Overturned Truck Accidents in Kansas
Accidents involving overturned commercial trucks can have devastating consequences. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), large trucks were involved in approximately 5,000 fatal crashes in the United States in recent years, with thousands more resulting in serious injuries. Factors such as excessive speed, driver fatigue, and road conditions often contribute to these types of accidents. When a large truck overturns, it creates a serious hazard for other drivers on the roadway, increasing the likelihood of multi-vehicle collisions.
