Worst commercial truck accidents

Life

There’s always the risk of being involved in an accident when you get behind the wheel, whether it’s a simple bump on the fender or something more serious. However, accidents involving tractor trailers tend to be some of the worst. Roughly 5,000 fatal crashes take place each year involving large trucks. While each is a tragedy, some are worse than others. These are the worst commercial truck accidents ever recorded in history. November 10, 1973 Doi Inthanon is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Hidden injuries to watch out for after a car accident

Health

Broken bones, whiplash, and lacerations are all easily identifiable injuries after an auto accident. However, drivers and passengers alike can also suffer a host of unseen complications that may not surface for days or weeks. Here are five hidden injuries to watch out for after being involved in a car accident. 1. Herniated Discs Neck and back strains are common and often the cause of whiplash, but they can be more serious than the pain felt from strained muscles. The force of two vehicles colliding can be enough to rupture the tissue between your spine’s vertebrae. The tissue will balloon outward from the spinal column, eventually breaking.

The Difference Between Ride-Hailing and Ride-Sharing

Travel

With the introduction of companies like Uber and Lyft, the dynamics of transportation have changed forever. These ride or cab services have also expanded the terminology people use to describe them, which leads to a little confusion. You’ve probably heard of these services referred to as ride-sharing, but have you heard the term ride-hailing? People often get the two confused since they sound so similar. However, both terms have completely different meanings. Ride-Hailing Hailing a ride means the same thing as hiring a personal driver. In most cases, a rider would either hail a taxi from the side of the road or use a ride service like Uber. The driver then takes the rider to their destination without any stops in-between. Ride-hailing can include stops if the rider wishes. It…
