Abstract

Of the 41,821 fatalities in motor vehicle crashes in 2000, about 3% occurred in work zone areas. However, 24% of the fatalities in work zone crashes involved large trucks, compared to 12% of fatalities in all crashes. Of the approximately 3.2 million people injured in non-fatal motor vehicle crashes in 2000, less than 2% of the injuries occurred in work zone crashes. About 10% of the people injured in work zone crashes were injured in crashes involving large trucks.
