Truck Accidents Caused By Speeding
It is simple physics. The heavier a motor vehicle is, (such as a semitruck) the longer it will take to stop. When you add excessive speed to this equation, the amount of time needed for a complete stop increases. So whether there are adverse weather conditions, sudden stops in traffic, or reckless lane changes, a speeding truck driver is a real risk for causing a serious accident.

These highly skilled engineers can conclusively state the speed of a truck before an accident by looking at things such as placement of skid marks and location of accident debris.
