MOTOR CARRIER ACCIDENT REPORT (MOTOR CARRIERS OF PROPERTY, COMMON AND CONTRACT CARRIERS OF PASSENGERS)

The file contains information on every motor vehicle accident involving motor carriers of property or common and contract carriers of passengers operating in interstate or foreign commerce where such accident resulted in the death of a human being; bodily injury to a person who as a result receives medical treatment away from the scene of the accident, or total damage to all property aggregating $2,000 or more based on actual costs or reliable estimates. Data report include information on carrier, driver, type of accident, injuries, property damage, road conditions, and account of accident. Exception: reporting of all such accidents is required except for private carriers engaged wholly in farm-to-market agricultural transportation. The term "farm-to-market agricultural transportation" means the operation of a motor vehicle that is controlled and operated by a farmer who, as a private carrier, is using the vehicle to transport agricultural products from his farm or to transport farm machinery, farm supplies, or both, to his farm. The accident reporting form is thoroughly revised for 1973. Source documents: Motor Carrier Accident Reports Form MCS 50-T (Trucks), and Motor Carrier Accident Reports Form MCS 50-B (Busses).
