Not a fan of the truck, but…
Not a fan of the truck, but this article is misleading and not worth reposting. There have been three fatal incidents which are included in the calculation:
- 1 terrorist killed himself in a truck rigged to explode (the vehicle did not kill anyone)
- 3 died in a high speed crash with what is reported to be an inebriated driver
- 1 died when a truck at speed left the road for unknown reasons and slammed into a concrete culvert
Now the latter two were at high speed (not "any speed") and did have concerning fires, in crashes where an ICE vehicle might well have burned too. But these are way too few incidents for meaningful statistics and not clear that the vehicle was at fault.
