Car accidents can happen at any time, and they often happen suddenly. Some accidents can happen for reasons you wouldn’t expect, and, because of this, it is essential to remain attentive whenever you are behind the wheel. Accidents involving large vehicles such as semi-trucks can be especially destructive because of the size and weight of these vehicles.
