Samenvatting
The frequency and severity of dump truck crashes and transit mix truck crashes in Texas during 1969 are tabulated. No fatalities occurred in the 360 transit mix truck crashes, while 22 fatalities occurred in the control group consisting of 1940, dump truck crashes. As Texas represents approximately 6. 5% of the residences of the U. S. A., it was concluded that fatalities involving transit mix trucks are very likely to be rare events.
