NHTSA Study Ties Light Truck Weight to Traffic Deaths
A draft federal study links heavier light trucks to higher crash deaths, noting 80 percent of fatalities in crashes with light trucks involve car occupants. Reducing car weight by 100 pounds would avert about 50 lives annually, while light truck weight reductions could save roughly 50 lives. The research, based on 1989 to 1993 data, criticizes weight-based safety assumptions and awaits fall release.
