BIG RIG TRUCK JACKKNIFE CAUSES PILEUP ON ORANGE COUNTY FREEWAY
A big rig was jackknifed on the freeway and six other vehicles collided with the wreckage causing a pile up on an Orange County freeway. Jackknifing is when a tractor’s cab and trailer swivel at the linkage until they form a V shape. Big rig trucks are extremely dangerous on the road because of their huge size. Once they get into an accident it is hard for them to not cause damage to other vehicles on the road.
