Several cars and a tractor-trailer were involved. In addition to the collision among the vehicles, a light pole was knocked down as a result of the accident and landed on other cars. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries reported at the time of the incident. Unfortunately, this is not always the case when a semi-truck is involved in a vehicular accident. These types of collisions can result in serious injuries that are painful or sometimes even fatal. Your Dallas chiropractor, Dr. Zinovy Chukhman, is here to help you recover from any type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallaschiropractor.com\/auto-accidents.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">auto accident<\/a>. But even better than that, he would like to help you avoid a collision with a semi-truck. Read on to learn about some safe driving tips that you can use on the road.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Avoid an Accident with a Semi-Truck<\/h2>\n<p>Pick any highway in Dallas at anytime of day and you are bound to see tractor-trailers on the road. These 18-wheelers are vital to the economy because they transport millions of tons of freight across the country every year. On the downside, they can also pose a serious risk of injury to automobile drivers and passengers; one semi- can weigh 20 to 30 times as much as a car. Therefore, your health and safety\u2014even your life\u2014can depend on knowing how to share the road with trucks. Here\u2019s some advice from Dr. Chukhman.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Stay out of a truck\u2019s blind spot. A semi-truck has a much larger blind spot than a car. Avoid driving alongside a truck and directly behind or in front of it. Maybe you\u2019ve seen a sign on the back of a semi- that says, \u201cIf you can\u2019t see my mirrors, I can\u2019t see you!\u201d Spend as little time in the blind spot as possible and move to where you can see the truck\u2019s side mirrors.<\/li>\n<li>Give trucks plenty of room. A tractor-trailer requires much more road distance to stop than a passenger vehicle. Make sure you have enough clearance when moving in front of a truck that you\u2019ve passed.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t pass a truck that is turning. Because of their size, trucks make wide turns. You\u2019re more likely to be involved in an accident with a truck if you try to pass a turning truck.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the rules of the road. Don\u2019t drive too fast and always pass on the left.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Injuries from Truck Crashes<\/p>\n<p>A driver or passenger involved in an accident with a truck may suffer serious injuries including soft tissue injuries, broken bones, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injuries. In conjunction with the necessary medical treatment, your chiropractor in Dallas can provide care to alleviate pain and discomfort. Treatment may include chiropractic adjustment, rehabilitation and spinal decompression.<\/p>\n<p>Contact Our Office Today<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been involved in an auto accident, don\u2019t wait to see your chiropractor in Dallas. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dallaschiropractor.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Call Align Right Injury &amp; Rehab today<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday, April 21, 2017, NBCDFW.com reported on an accident at the intersection of West Mockingbird Lane and Lemmon Avenue.
