According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA): More than 5,200 large trucks and buses were involved in deadly crashes in 2019. From 2016 to 2019, using data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the number of crashes involving large trucks and buses increased from 112,000 in 2015 to 127,000 in 2019. When trucks and cars collide, the people in the car usually suffer the most serious injuries because even small trucks are usually much larger than cars. Commercial trucks such as semis and heavy haulers often crush cars when there is a collision. An airbag or seatbelt can’t protect you when a truck crash barely leaves you room to breathe.
