Notes: “Persons Injured” includes all nonfatally injured persons in injury and fatal crashes. A single-unit truck is defined as a medium or heavy truck in which the engine, cab, drive train, and cargo area are all on one chassis. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) implemented an enhanced methodology for estimating registered vehicles and vehicle miles traveled by vehicle type for the years 2007-2009. As a result, involvement rates may differ, and in some cases significantly, from previously published rates.
