Two Federal Crash Files, and Why They Disagree

There is no single number for "truck crashes in America", because two agencies count them for two different reasons. Both tables are on this page, and neither is wrong.

FMCSA MCMIS — every crash a state police report ties to a commercial vehicle, where the crash met the federal reporting threshold: a fatality, an injury requiring treatment away from the scene, or a vehicle towed from the scene. Rebuilt daily, so it is current to within a couple of days.
NHTSA FARS — every fatal crash on a US public road, of any vehicle type, investigated and coded from police reports, death certificates and state records. Far richer per crash, but it runs about two years behind, and its "large truck" flag uses a weight definition of its own.
The gap is expected — MCMIS records more truck crashes because it counts injury and tow-away crashes too; FARS records more fatal crashes because it counts every fatal crash, not just those involving a commercial vehicle.
Crashes, not trucks — MCMIS files one record per commercial vehicle involved, so a pile-up appears several times. Every count here is of distinct crashes; the "CMVs Involved" column is the raw record count, and the gap between the two is how often more than one rig was in it.

Commercial Vehicle Crashes by Year

Year	Crashes	CMVs Involved	Fatal	Deaths	Injury Crashes	Injuries	Tow-away	Hazmat	Coverage
2026 partial	91,917	98,929	2,143	2,365	34,092	47,231	85,549	1,614	through 2026-09-08
2025	164,139	176,813	4,082	4,542	61,536	85,850	152,172	2,866	full year
2024	173,007	185,980	4,790	5,349	63,615	88,811	160,519	3,010	full year
2023	174,022	187,305	5,065	5,624	63,099	88,690	162,325	2,977	full year
2022	184,460	199,390	5,509	6,185	64,342	89,715	173,287	3,290	full year

A year is only marked complete three months after it ends. Measured against the crash file's own records, 96% of a year's crashes are filed within a month of it closing and 98% within three — treating a year as final on 1 January would print a drop that is only paperwork.

02 By state

Truck and Bus Crashes by State (2025)

Counted where the crash happened, not where the carrier is based. "Hazmat" means the vehicle carried a hazardous materials placard, whether or not anything was released.

Fatal Crashes by State — NHTSA FARS 2024

All fatal crashes, not only commercial ones, so the truck-involved column is the one to read against the table above. This is the initial release; NHTSA revises these figures when the final file is published.

Conditions Behind the Numbers

Data Sources

FMCSA Crash File (MCMIS) — Police-reported crashes involving commercial vehicles, as filed by the states. Rebuilt daily; the most recent year is incomplete because reports keep arriving for months afterwards.

NHTSA FARS — Fatal crash statistics from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, published through USDOT/BTS. Currently FARS 2024 (initial release — numbers may still be revised). Updated annually.

All figures are US federal government data in the public domain. We aggregate and present them; we do not adjust them.
