Large commercial vehicles frequent the roadway of Illinois each day. These vehicles travel long miles all across the United States, with their drivers working long hours. This can cause drivers to become exhausted and make reckless mistakes on the road.
Semi-truck crash statistics show that nearly 5,000 occupants of passenger vehicles are killed each year. There are more than 500,000 reported 18-wheeler collisions annually across the country.
