Missouri Commercial Motor Vehicle / Truck Accidents by Month of Year

Client Review by Trucker Injured in 3 Semi Crash

More Reviews

This table presents some surprises. The greatest number of fatality related crashes happen in the middle of the year when Missouri experiences, for the most part, fairly good driving weather. Fatalities are most reduced in the winter when snow and ice are most prevalent. It’s possible drivers are more cautious with the bad weather. And it’s not because there is less traffic on the road. Take a look at the crash totals month by month. They were at a fairly even keel throughout 2021, in a narrow band between 1200 and 1400 crashes a month. That reflects a constant stream of big rig driving, as today’s supply chains require all out shipping effort throughout the year. And note, too, that this is some four crashes every single day on average.
