The report provides one-way frequencies for all the variables in UMTRI's file of Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents, 1980-84, with separate frequencies for straight trucks and tractors. This file combines the coverage of the FARS data with the detail of the BMCS data. Where no BMCS report could be found for a medium or heavy truck listed by FARS, UMTRI conducted a survey, by telephone interview or by mail, to obtain the desired information. Overall, a total of 5,056 medium and heavy trucks were involved in fatal accidents in 1980, 5,244 in 1981, 4,719 in 1982, 4,944 in 1983, and 5,315 in 1984. The 25,278 vehicles found to be medium and heavy trucks were divided into 6,715 straight trucks and 18,119 tractors.
