When a truck of this size gets out-of-control on the highway, serious accidents can occur. Per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) National Center for Statistics and Analysis Traffic Safety Facts, 35+ people were killed from Washington accidents involving a large truck in 2014.
