Each year more than 500,000 truck accidents are reported in the U.S., resulting in approximately 5,000 fatalities and about 140,000 serious injuries. Every 16 minutes, one U.S. resident is killed or injured in a major accident. 


In 98% of trucking cases, the victims are the driver or occupants of the motor vehicle. In addition, 15% of truck fatalities involve motorcyclists, bicyclists or pedestrians.
