What is an Underride/Override Truck Accident?

One of the most dangerous types of truck accidents in Iowa is what is known as an underride/override accident. This happens when a smaller vehicle gets trapped underneath a larger commercial truck. This kind of Iowa truck accident almost always results in serious personal injuries, property damage and in many cases, death.

An underride accident occurs when a smaller vehicle drives underneath a larger commercial truck, either by the rear of the truck, or by sliding underneath the side of a larger truck.

An override accident occurs when a larger commercial truck drives over a smaller vehicle, motorcycle or pedestrian.
