Source: Data shown is an estimate for the 50 states and District of Columbia, and comes from the General Estimates System (GES) and the Crash Report Sampling System (CRSS), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation.

Note: GES/CRSS provide only national estimates of work zone crashes. State-level estimates are therefore not provided.

Values greater than 500 have been rounded to the nearest 1,000 and values less than 500 have been rounded to the nearest 100 to reflect the level of uncertainty that is associated with these estimates.

*Involvement does not always imply causation. Also, in some cases, the large truck struck another vehicle, pedestrian or object. In other cases, another vehicle struck the large truck.

**In some cases, the driver of the vehicle, rather than the pedestrian involved, was the person injured. As a result, the number of pedestrian-involved crashes and injuries in work zones may be higher than the number of pedestrians injured in work zones.

***NHTSA has redesigned the sampling process used to compute these estimates. Therefore, 2016 and later data are not directly comparable to data from 2015 and before.
