Rear impact collisions, such as the crash above, are generally the most frequent type of accident; however the injuries that occur from such are typically not fatal. The severity of the injuries resulting from a rear-impact collision can vary greatly as several factors may contribute to the damages, including bumper strength and speed of the driver. Additional information about injuries commonly suffered in tractor trailer accidents as well as accident statistics can be found on my tractor trailer accident website.
