Since passenger cars and SUVs are not built to withstand the pressure of being forced underneath a heavy truck, the result can be extensive damage and very serious injury or fatality. Underride truck accidents can be caused when a:
The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires rear impact guards on all commercial motor vehicles (CMV). Unfortunately, tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have shown these rearguards fail when a car impacts the guard at as little as 35 miles per hour. Because the tailgate of a truck is just at the right height to crush into a passenger vehicle’s front windshield, death or permanently debilitating injuries are much more likely with underride truck accidents.
