For comparison, a large pickup truck weighs approximately 5,000 pounds. The sheer size and force of a semi-truck collision means that victims are likely to suffer serious consequences when an accident occurs. Each day, thousands of semi-trucks travel on California’s streets and highways. While the large majority of these trips take place without incident, truck crashes also occur unexpectedly.
