States with the Most Fatal Truck Accidents According to the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (released May 2014), there were 333,000 traffic accidents involving a commercial truck in 2012. Those traffic accidents resulted in injuries to 100,000+ people and caused 3,900+ fatalities. Of those fatalities, more than 80% were not occupants of the commercial truck. To put that in perspective, that means more than 10 people were killed in a commercial trucking accident every single day. What's even more alarming is that the number of injuries and fatalities in commercial trucking accidents has risen steadily each year since 2009. Not all states are created equal though.
