Notes: The Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS) variable on interchange and non-interchange areas was discontinued beginning with the 2019 data.  A large truck is defined as a truck with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds.  Individual numbers may not add up to the totals due to independent rounding. Percentages are based on unrounded numbers.
