The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration published Large Truck and Bus Crash Facts for 2016, documenting the scale of commercial vehicle crashes including tow trucks, with data on fatalities, injuries, contributing factors, and crash characteristics, according to FMCSA. The report is published annually and serves as the authoritative federal source for commercial vehicle crash statistics.
Operator takeaway
FMCSA crash data is the federal baseline — use it to benchmark your fleet's safety performance against the national average and identify the crash types most relevant to your operation.
