Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety Truck and SUV Crash Statistics: Each year nearly 5,000 Americans die in truck crashes. In 1995, 98% of the people killed in two-vehicle crashes involving passenger cars and big trucks were occupants of the passenger vehicles. Since 1992, there have been more fatalities in collisions involving SUVs and cars than in car-to-car crashes, largely as a result of the disparity in vehicle weight (mass), height, and front-end configuration between SUVs and passenger cars. Of those persons fatally injured in SUV and car collisions, 80% were car occupants.
