Truck drivers account for hundreds of billions of miles driven across the country each year, which means that they’re exposed to many variables that can lead to potential accidents. Below are some of the factors that drivers face making them susceptible to accidents:
- Fatigue
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Alcohol/Drug use
- Blind Spots
- Vehicle Issues
- Weather
California Truck Accident Statistics
- 398 people died as a result of truck accidents across the Golden State in 2020
- More than 300 people die each year in California from a crash involving a large truck.
- Most fatal truck accidents occur in Los Angeles County, although San Bernardino County has been a close second in recent history. San Diego County, Kern County, and Riverside County are some other counties with a high number of fatal truck accidents.
- Most fatal truck accidents in California occur on highways, notably the I-5, I-10, State Route 99, and U.S. Route 101.
- When passenger vehicles are involved in an accident with a large truck, the aftermath is almost always worse for the occupant of the passenger vehicle. Among fatal two-vehicle crashes involving an automobile and a large truck in 2019, automobile occupants accounted for 97% of the deaths while large truck occupants accounted for just 3%.
