The Growing Danger of Delivery Truck Accidents on Connecticut’s Interstate Highways
The surge in e-commerce has significantly increased delivery truck traffic on Connecticut highways, especially along I-84, a key route connecting western Connecticut to Hartford. FedEx, UPS, and Amazon trucks frequently share these roads with commuters, often operating under tight delivery schedules. National data from the FMCSA shows a 12% rise in truck-related accidents between 2019 and 2022, and a 2023 CTDOT report revealed that 18% of commercial vehicle crashes on I-84 involved delivery trucks.
