This note provides comparative statistics on crash problem size and characteristics for two types of heavy combination-unit truck fatal crashes: (a) fatal to truck occupants and (b) fatal only to non-truck vehicle occupants or non-motorists (e.g., pedestrians, pedalcyclists). The principal data source was the 1991-1994 Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS). A secondary data source was the 1991-94 General Estimates System (GES).
