The National Transportation Safety Board today announced it will meet to consider its safety study on “Characteristics of Single-Unit Truck Accidents Resulting in Injuries and Deaths” on June 4, 2013.

In this safety study, the NTSB sought to examine the safety experience of single unit trucks; to examine the consequences, if any, of exempting these vehicles from large truck vehicle safety regulations; and to identify countermeasures for discovered safety issues.
