What Causes a Truck to Jackknife?
What causes a truck to jackknife involves the brakes on a commercial truck are not suddenly working, causing the axis to lock up. Meanwhile, the truck drags the trailer with locked brakes while the trailer swings around the truck and into adjacent lanes. That will cause the semi-truck to "jackknife." These accidents produce an enormous obstacle for other motorists and can result in rollovers, pile-ups, and other catastrophic accidents. Jackknife accidents can happen by weather conditions but are often the result of truck driver negligence.
