Frankly, this came as a surprise to me.  Given the number of truck crashes we report on in our operations center, I would have expected Massachusetts to be placed elsewhere on this list. 

The Truck Safety Coalition has come out with a list of the safest states for truck fatalities.

In 2005 more than 5,200 peopel were killed and another 114,000 were injured in truck trashes in this country.  That according to the most recent available statistics. 

The states with the lowest crash death rates in 2005 were:

Rhode Island - 0.9

Massachusetts - .38

Connecticut - .48

Hawaii - .71

Alaska - .75

New York - .76

New Hampshire - .84
