What City Did the Truck Accident Occur?

Idaho Truck & Bus Accident Statistics

The Idaho Transportation Department reported that in 2018 there were 2,286 total crashes of truck accident. 708 were injuries, and 44 of those were fatal. The highest total of accident since 2017 with the number of 2,468 crashes, and the lowest is 1,613 since 2014. This seems to indicate that safety regulations & traffic laws in Idaho either aren’t as effective as we’d hope, or that truck drivers, their employers (carriers), or other drivers are practicing unsafe behaviors. New technology in trucking safety will help mitigate damages, prevent injuries or collisions altogether, but for the victims and their families the problem seems to be escalating.
