Iowa Truck & Bus Accident Statistics

The NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis reported in Iowa, since 2017 there were 452 total vehicles involving in fatal crash, and 70 of those were in large trucks involved. In 2017 large trucks were more likely to be involved in fatal multiple vehicle crashes as opposed to fatal single-vehicle crashes than were passenger vehicles (82% of fatal crashes involving large trucks are multiple-vehicle crashes, compared with 62% for fatal crashes involving passenger vehicles). This seems to indicate that safety regulations & traffic laws in Iowa 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.
