Notes: “Persons Injured” includes all nonfatally injured persons in injury and fatal crashes. A large truck is defined as a truck with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds. A bus is defined as a motor vehicle designed to carry more than 10 passengers, not including the driver. Rates are calculated on the basis of vehicle miles traveled by all motor vehicles (large trucks, buses, passenger vehicles, and motorcycles).
