The document presents aggregate statistics on trucks and buses involved in traffic accidents in 1992. These statistics are derived from four sources: accident statistics reported through the SAFETYNET data system operated by the Federal Highway Administration's Office of Motor Carriers; the General Estimates System file maintained by the National Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA); the Fatal Accident Reporting System, also maintained by NHTSA; and the Trucks Involved Fatal Accidents file compiled by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. All accidents reported to herein meet the SAFETYNET severity threshold of either a fatality, an injury transported from the scene for medical attention, or at least one vehicle towed from the scene as a result of disabling damage sustained in the accident. An estimated 139,000 trucks and 15,000 buses were involved in traffic accidents in 1992. There were 4,767 fatalities and 109,000 non-fatal injuries in accidents involving trucks. 315 persons were killed in bus accidents and 25,000 were injured. 521 truck drivers received fatal injuries as a result of traffic accidents.
