Truck Accidents In Queens Remain a Dangerous Threat to Everyone
Pedestrians, motorists, and all others traveling through Queens must keep their eyes on the many trucks constantly weaving their way through this borough. In fact, the entire NYC area sees at least 365 million tons of diverse cargo pass through each year. Trucks carry about 90% of all those items to their destinations. Yet, since trucks are so large and heavy, we must bear in mind the deadly accidents they often cause. The many distinct types of vehicles passing through Queens – including buses, taxis, cars, and motorcycles — add to the chaos. Chances of accidents escalate when harsh weather arrives or traffic signals malfunction. Even parked cars can suffer serious truck damage.
