Notes: “Persons Injured” includes all nonfatally injured persons in injury
and fatal crashes. A single-unit truck is defined as a medium or heavy
truck in which the engine, cab, drive train, and cargo area are all on
one chassis. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) implemented an enhanced methodology
for estimating registered vehicles and vehicle miles traveled by vehicle type
for the years 2007-2009. As a result, involvement rates may differ, and in some
cases significantly, from previously published rates.
