Truck accidents can be extremely dangerous and this was the case with a serious accident that occurred with a logging truck on US Highway 601 in Surry County. The big rig was carrying a large load of logs when it crossed the center line and flipped over. The accident caused the truck to spill its logs onto the roadway. One of the large timbers hit a Nissan traveling in the opposite direction and caused it to crash into an embankment, killing the driver and the child passenger. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

There are more than 12 million commercial trucks on America’s roads. Most drivers will share the highway with trucks on a daily basis. Truck accidents are often more serious than accidents that involve other types of vehicles. Truck crashes are more likely to result in severe injuries or fatalities, often to the occupants of other vehicles. Trucks are large and carry heavy loads, making them difficult to maneuver and stop. If you were hurt in a truck accident you may want to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon after the crash as possible.
