Abstract:This report presents data on pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities in large truck crashes over the past several years (up to 2013). Information is provided on the characteristics of fatal crashes recorded in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Pedestrians who died in crashes involving large trucks were much more likely to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs than were the large truck drivers in those crashes (although significant portions of both groups were not tested). Bicyclists who died in crashes involving large trucks were much more likely to be coded as having “failed to yield” than were the large truck drivers in those crashes. Other issues discussed in this report include work zones, age, roadway function class (rural versus urban), vehicle types (single-unit trucks versus combination trucks), initial point of impact, time of day, and race/Hispanic origin.
