This page describes three less-obvious causes of truck accidents. Tire blowouts can cause sudden loss of control and send heavy tire fragments (often 50-100 pounds) flying into traffic.

The article frames these alongside more common causes like rear-endings and poor merging, and suggests increasing following distance near trucks.
