The Large Truck Crash Causation Study reported that 8 percent of large-truck crashes occurred when commercial drivers were externally distracted, and 2 percent of large truck crashes occurred when the driver was internally distracted. Approximately 5,500 people are killed each year on U.S. roadways and an estimated 448,000 are injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted driving.
