We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the deceased victim at this time. Our thoughts are also with the injured victim and their family in hopes of a full recovery.
Large semi-trucks are all over the roads, and Oklahoma plays a key role in the national transportation system due to its location in the heart of the country. Many large vehicles transport goods and commodities across the state’s highways. There are more than 500,000 large truck crashes reported annually in the United States, and these collisions end in over 5,000 fatalities and many more serious injuries. In Oklahoma, 654 people died in large truck accidents in 2020, up from 640 the year before. Many of these crashes involved semi-trucks. A lot more people got hurt in trucking accidents that year—1,563 in 2020, up from 1,914 in 2019.
