Car Drivers Cause Many Truck-Involved Fatalities

35 percent of all truck-involved highway fatalities occur in a truck's blind spots (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).

According to three different studies - including the AAA Traffic Safety Foundation and DOT, 3 out of 4 truck-involved fatalities are unintentionally initiated by car drivers.

According to the Ohio Highway Patrol, 37 individuals died on Ohio highways last holiday season. In addition, there were a total of 105 fatal and 14,811 injury crashes on snowy and icy Ohio roads from 2004-2006.
