About the data
Crash counts come from the FMCSA crash file (police-reported crashes involving trucks over 10,000 lb); fatal-crash locations come from NHTSA FARS. Text on this page states only what these numbers show.
Reporting was incomplete in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024, so those years are greyed out and left out of rates and comparisons.
