Oklahoma Jackknife Truck Accidents Can Cause Serious Injuries
Jackknife truck accidents can cause devastating damages and serious injuries. A tractor-trailer jackknife involves a bend at the hinge between the trailer and the tractor. This motion can cause the truck to veer out of control or even rollover. Tragically, these incidents often result in injuries to the truck driver and any other motorist that was close to the truck during the incident.
Drivers who witness a trailer begin to swerve back and forth while braking should keep their distance. It is possible that the trailer will begin to push the tractor from behind before swinging to the side. The swinging trailer can easily crush a smaller passenger vehicle. Once the truck comes to a stop it may be on its side or completely jackknifed. In either case, the truck driver will have difficulty getting his or her vehicle off the roadway. A completely stopped truck on the highway can be extremely dangerous for approaching motorists. Read the rest »
