This report provides one-way frequencies for all the variables in UMTRI's file of Trucks involved in Fatal Accidents, 1980. 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 on ownership, type of trip, vehicle configuration, cargo, weights, and lengths. Overall, 81.4% of the FARS medium and heavy trucks were found to be correctly classified. The 5,058 vehicles confirmed as medium and heavy trucks were divided into 1,350 straight trucks and 3,634 tractors. Of the latter, 3,495 were combination vehicles.
