A blind-spot accident occurs when the driver of a large truck crashes because a passenger vehicle is in an area that cannot be seen by the truck driver.

What Causes Blind-Spot Accidents?
There are a few common causes of blind-spot accidents:
A truck driver’s failure to adjust mirrors properly
Inexperienced truck drivers
Distracted driving
