Large passenger buses are inherently dangerous. Big rigs, diesel trucks, semi trucks, 18 wheeler trucks or tractor trailers  are even more so. Combined, how dangerous are they? You do the math.

The tragic numbers after a recent bus-truck crash in northeast Mexico were 11 bus passengers killed — including 10 United States and Canadian tourists — and 15 injured when a tractor trailer went out of control and swerved into oncoming traffic, smashing the bus, Mexican authorities said.

As usual with such incidents, the diesel truck driver survived with only injuries. The bus driver is dead, along with 10 passengers. Those who were injured reportedly are in “grave” condition.

The bus carried largely retirees and had left McAllen, Texas for central Mexico. Now many are dead because of what appears to be a tractor trailer driver’s inability to control his large diesel truck.

Such carnage from enormous, hard-to-manage big rig vehicles and diesel trucks is all too common, and the companies which operate such semi trucks must be held accountable. If you or a loved one is harmed in an 18 wheeler, big rig, semi truck, tractor trailer, diesel truck or other form of large truck accident, get a free case review and alert an 18 wheeler accident lawyer or big rig attorney with Jim S. Adler & Associates. Such a tractor trailer accident lawyer or semi truck accident lawyer can press for the financial compensation you deserve after the tragedy of a large diesel truck accident.
