Mississippi Truck Accidents
Mississippi actually sees a large percentage of truck accidents every year. In just one year, it is estimated that approximately 2.1% of large truck accidents in the U.S. happen in the state of Mississippi. This means that Mississippi falls into the top 20 highest state percentages when it comes to truck accidents.
Because trucks are so large compared to other vehicles on our roads, they are capable of causing catastrophic damage when these accidents do occur. Truck drivers are supposed to be some of the safest drivers on our roads. However, this does not always happen and truck drivers sometimes engage in reckless acts.
