Abstract:In 2022 there were 5,936 people killed in traffic crashes involving large trucks. This was a 2-percent increase from 5,821 in 2021. Seventy percent of people killed in large-truck traffic crashes in 2022 were occupants of other vehicles. Seventy-six percent of the fatal traffic crashes involving large trucks in 2022 occurred on weekdays (6 a.m. Monday to 5:59 p.m. Friday). Three percent of drivers of large trucks involved in fatal traffic crashes in 2022 had blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) of .08 grams per deciliter (g/dL) or higher, much lower than drivers of other vehicle types (28% for motorcycles, 25% for passenger cars, and 21% for light trucks). Drivers of large trucks involved in fatal traffic crashes in 2022 had a higher percentage (20.8%) of previously recorded crashes compared to drivers of other vehicle types (motorcycles, 18.9%; passenger cars, 17.8%; and light trucks, 15.9%). In 2022 drivers of large trucks in fatal traffic crashes were less likely (6.0%) to have previous license suspensions or revocations than other vehicle types (motorcycles, 16.3%; passenger cars, 12.9%; and light trucks, 10.1%). This fact sheet for 2022 covers crash characteristics, drivers, and data by state.
