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	115,630	124,365	2,722	3,001	43,613	60,222	107,302	1,968	through 2026-10-21
2025	165,211	177,945	4,113	4,577	61,824	86,233	153,197	2,880	full year
2024	173,202	186,188	4,877	5,445	63,695	88,939	160,678	3,009	full year
2023	174,046	187,332	5,070	5,629	63,108	88,706	162,347	2,978	full year
2022	184,461	199,391	5,509	6,185	64,343	89,716	173,288	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 total them by state and present them as filed.
