Semi-trailer crashes have become a growing concern in Perrysburg, especially along highways like I-475. These incidents often lead to serious injuries, with large trucks accounting for a significant number of accidents. In 2021, large trucks were involved in 60,375 injury crashes in the U.S., contributing heavily to traffic-related injuries.
