Getting stuck behind a garbage truck is an experience that everyone has had at least once. As frustrating as this can be, it pales compared to the true dangers presented by these enormous vehicles. While garbage truck accidents may not come to mind when thinking about serious motor vehicle collisions, in reality, trash truck accidents are fairly common.
For example, according to one news
report, there have been more than
2,000 trash truck accidents in Philadelphia over a span of just five years, costing taxpayers over $4.8 million. Surprisingly, very few of the drivers involved in these accidents were disciplined, even for accidents that were their fault. In fact, there were five drivers employed as trash truck drivers that had been in 12 or more accidents during their career.
