Crashes Involving Heavy Vehicles by Financial Year and Police Districts
Heavy Vehicles are classified as below:
1) Truck & 1 trailer
2) Prime Mover & 1 Trailer
3) Road Train
Please note that, only in-scope reported crashes are included. The crash must occur on a road open to and used by the public, and involve a vehicle which was in motion. It cannot be an 'act of nature', an act of deliberate intent (e.g. suicide), or as a result of a prior event (e.g. heart attack).
If 2 or more vehicles are involved in a crash, it is reported as single crash.
