Car crashes here in Michigan affect far too many families. Sometimes, there are clear cut answers regarding who was at fault for the collision, and the actions of one or more motorists involved could even be considered to be criminal. Other times, the causes are not so easily seen. Truck accidents are particularly dangerous due to the size of the vehicle involved. Police are still investigating one such accident involving a truck and have not yet determined who may have been at fault for the death of a man.

Man awaits sentencing in one of Michigan's truck accidents
Most Michigan residents know that semi-trucks are a vital part of the economy. They are needed to transport goods into and out of the state. Though they are necessary, they can often be involved in motor vehicle accidents since they are so often traveling on the nation's roads. Truck accidents can be particularly devastating due to the large size of the vehicle in comparison to the much smaller cars that it is likely to encounter. Last year, one such truck accident took the life of one man and the accused driver now awaits sentencing after being found guilty of causing the crash.
Truck accidents injure Michigan residents of all ages
Car accidents are an unfortunate reality here in Michigan. The circumstances of each one varies, but they are all devastating for those unlucky enough to experience them. When the accident involves a semi-truck, it can be even more horrific, as larger vehicles pose a greater risk to potential victims. This was highlighted in a recent crash affecting a young girl injured in just one of Michigan's many truck accidents.
Truck accidents: fatal crash in Michigan involving semi-truck
Any car accident is devastating to those involved. Injury and loss of life are some of the biggest risks that people face when they are involved in a crash. When the other vehicle involved happens to be a large truck, the possibility that someone will be severely injured goes up significantly. Recently, here in Michigan, one person died and two others were injured after a collision with a semi-truck. Truck accidents can be particularly deadly, and this one was no exception.
Toxic fumes released in one of Michigan's truck accidents
Many of our goods in this country are transported by semi-trucks. Unfortunately, these trucks are occasionally involved in serious truck accidents. When thinking of possible casualties of these crashes, what often comes to mind are the people in vehicles that might be hit by these large trucks. Sometimes, there can be other potential victims. A recent truck accident in Michigan highlighted this potential problem when it was discovered that it may have released toxic fumes as a result of the crash.
Truck driver's 51-year safety streak astounds
A UPS truck driver in Detroit, Michigan has just reached a safe driving milestone that may have also established a national record. The 73-year-old truck driver has made it 51 years without causing an accident on the job. The driver recently usurped a man from Ohio who apparently went 50 years without an accident before retiring. Unlike that man, the 73-year-old shows no signs of stopping. When asked about retiring, he said "I'd be bored -- too much free time."
