Big Rig Accident Statistics

Semi-trucks and other commercial vehicles are essential to the economy. Transportation of goods worth billions of dollars a year is common in the American trucking sector. There are a lot of semi-trucks on the road, which increases the risk of an accident for other drivers.

There are more fatalities in semi-truck accidents than in any other type of traffic collision. Because of its enormous size, other vehicles have difficulty avoiding a big rig truck.

U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) shows a 30 percent increase in fatalities involving big rig trucks since 2009. Around 4102 people died in traffic accidents in 2017 due to big rig negligence.

California’s number of people killed or injured in commercial truck crashes is the highest. Approximately 3,316 fatal accidents occurred in 2019, leading to 3,606 deaths. In 320 deadly crashes involving heavy trucks, 44 people were killed.

To avoid being hit by a commercial truck, move as far away from its blind spot as possible while passing. Because of the truck’s passenger side’s greater blind area than the driver’s side, this is the worst position. Always pass on the driver’s side when making a lane change.
