Oklahoma Truck & Bus Accident Statistics

The NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics and Analysis reported in Oklahoma, since 2017 there were 933 total vehicles involving in fatal crash, and 131 of those were in large trucks involved. This seems to indicate that safety regulations & traffic laws in Oklahoma 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.
