Big Rig Crash Accident Statistics
Significant rig accidents can potentially destroy other vehicles and people within seconds. Due to their size, significant rig accidents frequently cause severe injuries or even fatalities. The US Department of Transportation reports that 7% of deaths involving large-truck drivers in 2018 were due to speeding.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that in 2018, 49% of fatally injured heavy truck drivers and fatally injured passenger car drivers used seat belts.
Significant rig accidents can happen for many reasons, such as the driver’s lack of experience, weariness, and fatigue, poor road conditions, disobeying traffic laws, and maintenance issues.
