The 'Summary Report' presents statistics for fatal, non-fatal, injury and towaway crashes for large trucks and buses. Crash data is aggregated into summary totals, which provide a high-level overview of crash events occurring each year.
Reportable crash: A crash is reported to FMCSA if it involves a truck, bus or any vehicle displaying a hazardous materials placard AND that vehicle is involved in a crash while operating on a roadway customarily open to the public, which results in a fatality, an injury or a towaway.
Data Source |
The Crash Statistics module provides users an ability to view crash data reports either from MCMIS or FARS.
|
1) MCMIS includes crashes involving trucks and buses that are reported by states to the FMCSA through the SAFETYNET computer reporting system. It includes data elements collected on trucks and buses that meet the NGA recommended crash threshold. The FMCSA operates and maintains the MCMIS.
|
2) FARS is a census of crashes involving any motor vehicle on a trafficway, but only includes fatal crashes. FARS is maintained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
