Tractor-trailers and other commercial trucks played a role in just 8 percent of all traffic accidents in North Carolina last year, but they accounted for 16 percent of the state's highway fatalities.
With a death toll of 166 last year, North Carolina ranked ninth in the country for truck fatalities.
So, it's no wonder that federal, state and regional officials launched an effort Wednesday to improve truck safety. The initiative, "Be Safe, Share the Space" is a partnership of various public and private agencies led by the Governor's Highway Safety Program and the state Department of Transportation.
"Statistics show that crashes involving commercial motor vehicles are more likely to result in fatalities," said Darrell Jernigan, director of the highway safety agency.
"'Be Safe, Share the Space' aims to educate both motorists and trucking companies on the importance of driving safely and complying with size and weight regulations," he said.
