TRUCKS INVOLVED IN FATAL ACCIDENTS, CODEBOOK 1989 (VERSION DECEMBER 19, 1991)
This report provides weighted and unweighted one-way frequencies for all the vehicles in UMTRI's file of Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents, 1989. This file combines the coverage of the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) data with the detail of the Office of Motor Carriers (OMC) data. Where no OMC report could be found for a medium or heavy duty truck listed by FARS, UMTRI conducted a survey, by telephone interview, to obtain the desired information on ownership, type of trip, vehicle configuration, cargo weights, and lengths.
