Through Utah’s Zero Fatalities and Truck Smart programs, we are striving to eliminate fatality and severe injury crashes. In an analysis of 2019, 2020, and 2021 crashes, we have experienced 91 fatal crashes and 232 severe injury crashes for a total of 323 crashes over the past three years. Safety and crashes and directely related.
Doing all the things you have been trained to do as a professional driver will certainly protect you and those driving around you. About 75% of commercial vehicle crashes are caused by the passenger vehicle, not the professional driver. However, that still leaves 25% of crashes that could have been prevented if the professional driver was following their training.
