Fatal Rear-End Tractor-Trailer Crash Statistics

Rear-end collisions are one of the most common types of car accidents. They are also quite dangerous. These collisions frequently occur when one vehicle is stopped, and the other is traveling at high speeds. According to the National Highway Road Safety Administration, rear-end crashes account for around 29 percent of all traffic accidents resulting in serious injury in the United States.

In addition to the disturbing figures listed above, rear-end collisions cause around 950,000 injuries and 2,000 deaths each year, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). In this case, a tractor-trailer was involved. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), big rig trucks’ fatality rate has increased by 30 percent since 2009.

There were 4,102 traffic fatalities involving a big rig in 2017 alone. Semi-truck accidents are caused by various factors, including truck loss of control, tire blowouts, disabling or non-disabling vehicle failure, excessive speed, lane drifting, and improper truck maneuvering driver fatigue.
