A collision with a semi-truck can be catastrophic. This is because the sheer size and weight of semi-trucks, also known as tractor-trailers or 18-wheelers, is no match for a passenger car. Unfortunately, trucking accidents are quite common in Texas and the rest of the country.
There are many factors that can lead to a trucking accident, and driver fatigue is one of the most common.
For years, officials have pinpointed driver fatigue as a cause of trucking accidents, but it was only recently that officials tied a disorder, sleep apnea, to the problem.
