Source: FMCSA Crash File, records for 2024 flagged as truck crashes. Each row counts crashes, not people. A crash with a death means at least one person died. Larger states, with more trucks and more miles driven, have more crashes, so these counts are not a measure of how safe a state’s roads are.
What this does and does not tell you
The file contains crashes that meet federal reporting thresholds (a death, an injury treated away from the scene, or a vehicle towed), as reported by each state. States report with some delay and in slightly different ways, so the numbers are best read as a reliable overall picture rather than an exact count. The latest year is shown only once its volume is close to the year before it.
If you were in a crash with a truck, see our guides on truck accidents. The rules on fault and compensation depend on your state, so you can also try the comparative fault calculator and speak to a licensed attorney about your own case.
Figures come from the FMCSA’s public data and are updated periodically. General information, not legal advice.
