I-84 truck accidents in Oregon (2020-2024)

I-84 truck accident deaths in Oregon by year

Annual truck accident deaths on I-84 in Oregon rose from 3 in 2020 to 8 in 2021, then fell to 7 in 2022. The count remained at 7 in 2023 before rising to 11 in 2024. Thus, 2024 had the highest large-truck death count, and 2020 had the lowest; 2022 and 2023 were tied.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

All-route deaths followed a different annual sequence: 15 in 2020, 23 in 2021, 18 in 2022, 17 in 2023 and 23 in 2024. The highest all-route count was shared by 2021 and 2024, while 2020 was lowest. All-route deaths fell between 2022 and 2023 even as large-truck deaths stayed unchanged. Both measures rose from 2023 to 2024. The 2024 figures come from the Annual Report File.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

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

Counties along I-84 in Oregon

I-84 in other states

Across all states, I-84 recorded 102 deaths in large-truck crashes during 2020 to 2024, with deaths recorded in 7 states. Oregon's 36 deaths represented 35.3% of that separately supplied route-wide total. The listed other segments recorded 30 deaths in Idaho and 24 in Connecticut. Oregon's count was higher than Idaho's, and Idaho's was higher than Connecticut's.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}

The other-state table supplies selected segments, so its entries should not be treated as the complete route total. These truck accident counts are not traffic-adjusted risk rankings and cannot establish relative risk per trip or mile. For readers searching for a truck accident lawyer, keep the Oregon segment and route-wide grouping distinct.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]}

About these figures

For I-84 in Oregon, the source is NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, a 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 locations, not residences.^[8][6][7]

Oregon's I-84 assignment uses crash-level route signing and the recorded trafficway identifier, which do not establish full highway coverage. Truck accident involvement does not establish fault. The 2020 to 2023 records are FARS Final Files. The 2024 Annual Report File remains revisable when NHTSA replaces it with the Final File, so its figures are not final.^[8][6][7]
