I-10 in Florida recorded 55 deaths in large-truck crashes from 2020 to 2024, accounting for 25.6% of the 215 all-route deaths. Those large-truck deaths occurred in 53 fatal large-truck crashes. The truck accident death count includes everyone killed in those crashes, not just people occupying a truck. Deaths and fatal crashes are separate measures: a crash can involve multiple large trucks and can kill multiple people.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
For these Florida I-10 statistics, a truck accident means a fatal crash involving at least one medium or heavy truck with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds, excluding buses and motor homes. Assignment to I-10 uses the crash-level fields ROUTE=1 and a parseable I-route number in TWAY_ID, the recorded trafficway identifier. These fields identify route signing and crash location; they do not describe the highway's full geographic extent or establish fault.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

How the truck crashes on I-10 happened
Manner of collision identifies the first harmful event. For Florida I-10 truck accident deaths, rear-end collisions accounted for 18 and 32.7%; angle collisions for 6 and 10.9%; sideswipes for 3 and 5.5%; and head-on collisions for 6 and 10.9%. "Not reported" accounted for 1 and 1.8%.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
"Not a collision with another moving vehicle" accounted for 21 deaths and 38.2%. This means no collision with a motor vehicle in transport, such as a rollover or striking a pedestrian, cyclist, parked vehicle or fixed object. A vehicle stopped in traffic can be in transport.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Daytime recorded 27 deaths and 49.1%; nighttime recorded 28 and 50.9%. Urban locations recorded 11 and 20.0%, while rural locations recorded 44 and 80.0%. Work-zone truck accident deaths numbered 4. These classifications count people killed, not the trucks involved or the number of crashes.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
I-10 in other states
Across I-10, 595 deaths in large-truck crashes were recorded across 8 states from 2020 to 2024. Florida's 55 deaths represented 9.2% of that route-wide count. The route total is supplied separately; the listed other-state segments are a subset of the route-wide data.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Among the listed rows, Texas had the highest truck accident death count at 206, followed by Arizona at 142. California and Louisiana each recorded 66, while New Mexico had the lowest listed count at 23. Florida's 55 was below California's and Louisiana's counts and above New Mexico's. These truck accident counts describe deaths at crash locations. They are not traffic-adjusted risk rankings and cannot establish relative risk per trip or mile.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
About these figures
For I-10 in Florida, FARS supplies fatal-crash data, excluding nonfatal crashes and injuries. Its scope requires a motor vehicle on a trafficway customarily open to the public and a death within 30 days. State and county counts follow crash locations, not residence. Readers searching for a truck accident lawyer should interpret these as location-based counts.[8][6][7]
Florida I-10 assignment uses crash-level route signing and trafficway identifiers, which do not establish the highway's full geographic extent. Large-truck involvement establishes no fault. The 2020 to 2023 figures come from FARS Final Files. The 2024 truck accident figures come from the Annual Report File and can change when NHTSA replaces that file with the Final File.[8][6][7]
