Types of Truck Crash A truck crash can be devastating for the driver of the truck as well as the car's occupants. Large trucks can be difficult to maneuver. Fatigue, driver mistakes and safety problems can also contribute to an accident. It's sometimes difficult to determine who's at fault. Rear-End Collisions Rear-end collisions happen frequently. They occur when two vehicles collide, often at a traffic intersection. It can happen when drivers fail to spot a red light or stops in front of them and they continue to drive at full speed through
