Marcellus Shale Truck Accidents
The Dangers of Marcellus Shale Trucks
Marcellus shale trucks are heavy-duty, load-bearing commercial vehicles that are used for transporting valuable materials to and from natural gas fields on the Marcellus Formation. These commercial vehicles are heavy, powerful and dangerous for anyone who finds themselves involved in an accident with them. Marcellus shale trucks have been indicated as a cause of road damage due to their massive weight, mostly on rural roads that were not designed for these types of transportation vehicles. Other factors, such as driver negligence, can greatly increase the risk of a serious accident.
