ANALYSIS OF HSRI STUDY OF CAR/TRUCK CRASHES IN THE UNITED STATES
In highway collisions between passenger cars and trucks, passenger car occupants suffer the greatest losses. For every truck driver who dies in a collision with a passenger vehicle, some 32 automobile occupants are killed. Because very little specific data was available on the circumstances surrounding car/truck accidents, the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety commissioned in 1980 a study by the Highway Safety Research Institute of the University of Michigan of all fatal accidents in the U.S. in 1980 involving cars and trucks. This report is an analysis of the May, 1982 Final Report of the Study of Car/Truck Crashes developed by the Highway Safety Research Institute.
