6 killed in Fla. tractor-trailer crash with van
According to Bay News 9, in Moore Haven, Florida six men in a van were killed when a tractor trailer went barreling through a stop sign around 6:30 in the morning and struck the van's right side. Two of the six occupants in the van were ejected from the vehicle, and all were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the tractor-trailer was taken to the hospital with few minor injuries.
18 Wheeler trucks are more likely to be involved in fatal multi-vehicle accidents than passenger vehicles. When they collide with a passenger vehicle, the occupants of the smaller passenger vehicles are more likely to suffer injury or death because of the size difference between the two colliding vehicles.
Every 16 minutes, a person is killed or sustains injuries in accidents involving tractor-trailers, semi-trucks, and 18 wheelers.
We, at Distasio Law Firm, are familiar with auto accidents, and express a great deal of sympathy for those who lost a loved one in the unfortunate accident early Monday morning.
