Notes: A large truck is defined here as a truck, used for commercial purposes, with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross combination weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds. Injury crashes are defined here as crashes that resulted in at least one injury involving immediate medical attention away from the crash scene. (Note that this definition of an injury crash is not the same as that used in the GES injury estimates presented in other tables of this report.) Towaway crashes are defined here as crashes in which at least one vehicle was disabled as a result of the crash and transported away from the crash scene.
