N2  - Crash types were analyzed for a 50 percent sample of the 3,178 fatal truck-car crashes from the 1993 Fatal Accident Reporting System. Odds ratios and 95 percent confidence intervals were estimated for potential risk factors. The most common crash types, 'oncoming' and 'ran traffic control', which accounted for 61 percent of crashes, typically occur on undivided roads. Slippery roads and curves were significant risk factors for oncoming crashes. The next most common crash types, stop/stopping, run down, and lane change, occurred significantly more often on divided roads. Darkness was a significant risk factor for stop/stopping and run down crashes.     <p>Language: en</p>
