Navigation Wide-Turn Truck Crashes: What to Know
Large commercial trucks move millions of goods across California every day, navigating crowded freeways, busy intersections, and tight city streets. Due to their size and length, these vehicles require more space to turn than passenger cars. When a truck driver misjudges that space or swings too wide, smaller vehicles can get caught, trapped, or crushed in what’s known as a wide-turn accident.
These collisions, sometimes referred to as “squeeze play” or “right-turn squeeze” crashes, can leave victims with devastating injuries and complicated legal claims.
Understanding how these accidents occur and who may be responsible is a crucial first step toward protecting your rights.
