I-15 in Nevada recorded 34 deaths in large-truck crashes during 2020 to 2024, compared with 109 deaths across all fatal crashes assigned to the route. Large-truck involvement accounted for 31.2% of those route deaths. The truck accident death count came from 26 fatal large-truck crashes. These measures describe different things: the death count includes everyone killed in the qualifying crashes, while the crash count records fatal events involving large trucks.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

For these I-15 truck accident statistics in Nevada, a large truck is a medium or heavy truck with a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 10,000 pounds, excluding buses and motor homes. A truck accident here means a fatal crash involving such a truck. Assignment to I-15 uses crash-level route fields: ROUTE=1 and a parseable I-route number in TWAY_ID. Those fields identify route signing and crash location rather than the highway's full geographic extent.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

It describes a first harmful event other than collision with a motor vehicle in transport, such as a rollover or striking a fixed object. A vehicle stopped in traffic can be in transport. Rear-end crashes account for 10 deaths, or 29.4%; head-on crashes for 8, or 23.5%; sideswipes for 1, or 2.9%; and angle (side impact) crashes for 0, or 0.0%.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Daytime truck accident deaths numbered 15, or 44.1%, compared with 19, or 55.9%, at nighttime. Urban locations recorded 21 deaths, or 61.8%, and rural locations recorded 13, or 38.2%. Work-zone deaths numbered 4. Each figure in these breakdowns measures deaths in large-truck crashes, not trucks or fatal crashes. Manner of collision describes the crash's first harmful event.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

About these figures

For I-15 in Nevada, FARS supplies a census of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes; nonfatal crashes and injuries are excluded. Counts follow recorded crash locations, not residences. Route assignment requires ROUTE=1 and a parseable I-route number in TWAY_ID. Those crash-level fields describe signing and location, without establishing the highway's full geographic extent.[8][6][7]

The Nevada I-15 truck accident figures identify large-truck involvement, not fault. Deaths include everyone killed in qualifying crashes, not only truck occupants, and a crash can involve multiple large trucks. Data for 2020 to 2023 come from FARS Final Files. The 2024 Annual Report File remains revisable when NHTSA replaces it with the Final File, so its truck accident counts can change.[8][6][7]
