Crashes are placed on the route by the trafficway identifier recorded for each fatal crash. 2024 is the Annual Report File.

I-16 in other states

Across all states, the supplied I-16 total was 28 deaths in large-truck crashes during 2020 to 2024. The route recorded these deaths in 1 state, and Georgia's 28 deaths represented 100.0% of the route-wide total. The other-state table displays "No other state segment met the threshold" with 0; it supplies no named other-state segment for a truck accident death comparison.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}

The route-wide figure is supplied separately, rather than calculated from the other-state table. That table is a subset listing, not a substitute for the route total. These truck accident counts are not traffic-adjusted risk rankings: the packet provides no population or mileage rates and cannot establish relative risk per trip or mile.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}

About these figures

For I-16 in Georgia, FARS supplies a census of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes; nonfatal crashes and injuries are excluded. Inclusion requires a qualifying trafficway crash and a death within 30 days. Truck accident deaths use crash locations, not residence. Crash-level ROUTE and TWAY_ID fields assign the corridor but do not establish its full geographic extent.^[8][6][7]

Large-truck involvement establishes no fault. Readers considering the phrase "truck accident lawyer" should keep the grouping clear: these are location-based deaths in crashes involving large trucks. Georgia's I-16 figures for 2020 to 2023 use FARS Final Files. The 2024 truck accident figures use the Annual Report File and can change when NHTSA replaces it with the Final File.^[8][6][7]
