Imagine the back of a semi-truck trailer.
It's hard to imagine that a car could fit under there. There are bars, called underride guards, at the back of the truck to stop cars from riding under the truck.
- The underride guards don't always stop cars from going under the truck.
- Even at low speeds cars can end up under there!
- Death of family members is a common result to such crashes.
“It is safer to run into a brick wall then the back of a truck.”
~Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
In 2013, our family found that out the hard way. I was traveling with my 3 youngest children when we were struck from behind by a semi-truck. It spun us around and hit us a second time pushing our car under the truck in front of us.
AnnaLeah (17) and Mary (13) were in the backseat when the rear of the car was pushed under the truck. Both of them died. AnnaLeah wanted to be a writer and Mary wanted to be famous, neither of them got to see their dreams come true.
