TRUCK CRASH STATISTICS * USA
* DC - Fewer truck-related deaths on US roads in 2009
Washington,D.C.,USA -Truck News (CAN) -Nov 16, 2011: -- The long awaited 2009 truck crash stats from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration have finally been released, and they tell a good story... The FMCSA inexplicably held onto the results longer than usual, as it considers revisions to the US hours-of-service regulations and when they were released, they were not trumpeted on the agency's home page, prompting raised eyebrows in trucking circles. The American Trucking Associations, however, says the stats, which have now been posted on the FMCSA Web site, show fatal crashes involving large trucks fell 31% from 2007 to 2009 and crashes resulting in injury dropped 30%... The report also shows the large truck fatal crash rate fell to one crash per 100 million miles travelled in 2009, down from 1.1 in 2008. Since 2000, the fatal crash rate for large trucks has fallen 54.5%, which is more than double the rate of decline seen by the passenger vehicle fatal crash rate...
