• Abstract:
  In 1999, 475,000 large trucks (gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 lb) were involved in traffic crashes in the United States; 4,898 were involved in fatal crashes. A total of 5,362 people died (13% of all the traffic fatalities reported in 1999) and an additional 142,000 were injured in those crashes. Large trucks accounted for 3% of all registered vehicles, 7% of total vehicle miles traveled, 9% of all vehicles involved in fatal crashes, and 4% of all vehicles involved in injury and property-damage-only crashes in 1998 (1999 registered vehicle and vehicle miles traveled data not available). One out of eight traffic fatalities in 1999 resulted from a collision involving a large truck. Additional statistics on the involvement of large trucks in fatal and injury crashes in 1999 are provided in this traffic safety fact sheet.
