About these figures

The I-95 Georgia truck accident figures use NHTSA's FARS census of fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes. Nonfatal crashes and injuries are excluded. Counts follow crash locations, not the residences of those killed. Crash-level route signing and trafficway identifiers assign crashes to I-95 in Georgia; they do not establish the highway's full geographic extent.^[8][6][7]

Large-truck involvement does not establish fault. For readers searching for a truck accident lawyer, keep the grouping clear: these figures describe deaths in qualifying crashes. The 2020 to 2023 records are FARS Final Files. The 2024 records come from the Annual Report File, which can change when NHTSA replaces it with the Final File. This distinction applies to the Georgia segment's reported counts.^[8][6][7]
