About these figures

The I-84 in Idaho figures use NHTSA's FARS census of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. Inclusion requires a motor vehicle on a trafficway customarily open to the public and a death within 30 days. Nonfatal crashes and injuries are excluded. State and county counts follow crash location, not residence.^[8][6][7]

For Idaho's I-84 segment, crash-level ROUTE=1 and a parseable I-route number in TWAY_ID determine assignment, without establishing full highway coverage. Large-truck involvement does not establish fault. The 2020 to 2023 figures use Final Files; 2024 uses the revisable Annual Report File. Readers searching for a truck accident lawyer should keep these counts grouped by their stated crash locations and measures.^[8][6][7]
