Accidents In 2005
NOTE: This year
503 lives were lost, 26,353 were injured and 47,368 vehicles, trailers
and other items were either destroyed or damaged.
This
data vastly underestimate the true magnitude of this public safety
issue.
Not all accidents are reported and the Uniform Traffic Accident Report does not have a section for Utility Trailers.Note: I have researched and have found over 7,000 accidents involving
Utility Trailers as reported by newspapers In this Year. I will feature 100 as
finances allow to purchase the articles and will provide summary's for as many as possible.
