The three most common reasons are Driver Critical Error, Vehicle Critical Error, and Environmental Effects. First, Driver Critical Error occurs when the trucker is not driving carefully. Above all, this is often the result of speeding, inattention, or fatigue. Second, Vehicle Critical Error occurs when a truck malfunction causes an accident. This can come in the form of brake failure, tire blowout, and other mechanical issues. Lastly, Environmental Effects can create tractor-trailer accidents.
