>Youngkin edges ahead of McAuliffe in Virginia race

 

Apparently driven by the growing unpopularity of President Joe Biden, Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s once huge lead over Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin in the Virginia gubernatorial race has evaporated.

 

In the latest Trafalgar Group survey of 1,095 likely election voters, Youngkin is in the lead by a hair for the first time, 48.4% to 47.5%.

 

While well within the poll’s 2.96 percentage point margin of error, it is the latest sign that the deflated McAuliffe campaign is sinking fast, threatening his chance at history by becoming a rare former governor elected again in the state that bars back-to-back terms in the office.

 

McAuliffe has admitted that Biden’s troubles are a hurdle in his race. He once said he’d welcome Biden on the campaign trail every day, but now he’s reaching out instead to former President Barack Obama.

 

In the poll, 58% disapprove of Biden, 51.7% “strongly.”

Tractor-Trailer Underride: Not Your Average Rear-End Accident

SHARE

Rear-end car accidents. They’re equivalent to a fender bender, and all parties can leave with just an exchange of insurance information, right? Wrong. These accidents can be quite dangerous, especially when a tractor-trailer enters the mix.

 

What Is an Underride Crash?

When a car hits the back of a tractor-trailer, a standard rear-end crash often becomes an underride crash, possibly the deadliest type of motor vehicle accident. An underride crash is when a passenger car slides under the trailer of an 18-wheeler. Underride crashes often shear off the roof of the car, making decapitation and crush injuries a serious threat to the vehicle’s passengers.

 

In a rear underride collision, a car slides under the back of the trailer, coming to a stop only after hitting one of the rear wheels or another part of the truck’s underbelly. Rear underrides can occur from typical accident causes, such as distracted driving, but are also commonly caused by a truck that is unexpectedly slow. The driver of the car may not realize the tractor-trailer’s low speed until it is too late to stop. A truck may be moving slowly on a high-speed road as it returns to the road from the shoulder, slows to exit the road, or slows for a railroad crossing.

 

A side underride collision usually occurs when there is reduced visibility, either at night or when the sun is interfering with a driver’s vision. In this case, the collision occurs at a perpendicular angle, like a T-bone crash. This can happen when a truck driver is attempting to cross or turn onto a street or highway, is attempting a U-turn, or is trying to back across traffic.

 

It’s even possible for a truck to strike another vehicle from behind and cause a front underride collision, rolling over the back of the passenger car and often causing great harm to anyone in the backseat.

Preventing Underride Crashes

The main way to prevent underride crashes is through the use of a device called an underride guard. Underride guards are a kind of metal bumper that hangs from the back of a high-riding semi-trailer (usually striped red and white) to stop a smaller vehicle from sliding underneath in the event of a rear-end collision. More recently, side underride guards have been shown to be an effective barrier as well.

 

Sounds simple enough, right? Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Back in 2011, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tested the guards and found that they were effective in stopping cars from sliding underneath semi-trucks (Forbes).

 

Speed is an important factor, however, as “effective” guards are often tested at speeds around 35 or 40 mph. A car traveling at a 70 mph highway speed may still crash through the guard.
