Notes: A large truck is defined here as a truck, used for commercial purposes,
with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross combination weight rating
greater than 10,000 pounds. Injury crashes are defined here as crashes
that resulted in at least one injury involving immediate medical attention
away from the crash scene. (Note that this definition of an injury crash
is not the same as that used in the GES injury estimates presented in other
tables of this report.) Towaway crashes are defined here as crashes in
which at least one vehicle was disabled as a result of the crash and transported
away from the crash scene.
