Roadside truck accidents: Many accidents occur where a car is broken down on the side of the road and is struck by a truck. Similarly, a car could strike a truck that is broken down or pulled over to the roadside. Some of these accidents are the result of defective flashers or flares. Other accidents may occur if a truck is not properly pulled over onto the shoulder. Accidents at high speeds on the roadside often result in serious injuries and fatalities.
