Abstract:Results identify three to seven statistically significant risk factors from among 13 selected for the models. These included: seat belt use, alcohol/drug involvement, head-on collision impact, rollover event, failure to yield/stop, weather, intersection, curve, and multiple-truck involvement. Seat belt use was a significant predictor for severe injury likelihood in all models. Failure to stop or yield, rollover event, multiple truck involvement, curves and intersections were associated with increased likelihood for severe-injury to truck drivers. Severe injury to other drivers in truck-involved crashes was associated with alcohol or drug involvement, head-on and sideswipe collisions, rollover events, weather, and distracted driving.
