A trucking accident occurs when big rigs or semi trucks collide with other vehicles or pedestrians. Due to the large size of trucks, an accident can greatly endanger the lives of other smaller vehicles. Common causes of truck accidents include driver fatigue, speeding, disobeying safety procedures, repair and maintenance failure among others. People who are injured in truck accidents may be compensated for their injury, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Delmita is an unincorporated community in Starr County, Texas, United States. Its elevation is 272 feet (83 m). Although Delmita is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 78536. Originally founded as Zaragosa in 1919, the community's name was changed to Delmita on 1931-04-01 due to confusion with the Reeves County community of Saragosa. The community's first post office was established soon after the community itself was, but a new post office was constructed in 1991. Delmita's importance has fallen through the years; in 1940, it was the most important community in the northeastern part of the county, but it has since been overshadowed by San Isidro.
