On average, more than 700 fatalities occur in work zones each year. Commercial motor vehicle (CMV) and passenger vehicle drivers both need to be particularly careful while traveling through work zones. Unfortunately, fatal accidents involving CMVs in work zones have increased year by year.

CMV involvement in non-work zone fatal crashes has remained fairly constant over time at about 10-13% of all fatal crashes. But when it comes to work zones, CMVs are involved in more than 30% of fatal work zone crashes on urban interstates and more than 50% percent on rural interstates. CMV involvement is also higher than overall trends in fatal work zone crashes on other roadway types.
