ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando ranked second among Florida cities for the number of vehicles involved in crashes involving large trucks in 2025, according to a new analysis of federal crash data.
The study from Miami-based G Law Group examined records collected by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Researchers counted 231 vehicles involved in Orlando truck crashes during 2025. Those crashes resulted in 111 injuries and two fatalities, according to the analysis.
Only Jacksonville recorded more involved vehicles, with 469. Jacksonville’s crashes resulted in 211 injuries and 13 deaths.
Tampa ranked third with 141 vehicles involved, followed by Miami with 86 and Davie with 73.
Statewide, the number of vehicles involved in truck crashes declined by 21% from 2024 to 2025, falling from 9,327 to 7,368. Fatalities declined more slowly, dropping by 14% to 234.
The figures count vehicles involved in crashes, rather than the total number of crashes.
The analysis also found that mornings were the most common time for truck crashes. More than 40% of the involved vehicles were recorded in crashes between 6 a.m. and noon. The period between 6 and 9 a.m. accounted for the largest share, at about 19%.
Several major Central Florida highways appeared among the roadways with the highest numbers.
Interstate 4 ranked fourth statewide, with 271 vehicles involved in truck crashes. The study recorded six fatalities and 133 injuries in those crashes. Hillsborough County accounted for the largest share of the I-4 total, with 74 vehicles involved.
U.S. Highway 27 ranked sixth, with 203 vehicles involved, six fatalities and 142 injuries. Polk County recorded 71 of those vehicles.
U.S. Highway 441 ranked ninth, with 110 vehicles involved, five fatalities and 60 injuries. Orange County had the highway’s highest county total, with 39 vehicles involved.
Interstate 75 led all Florida roadways included in the analysis, with 744 vehicles involved, 24 fatalities and 409 injuries. Interstate 95 followed with 721 vehicles involved, 21 fatalities and 400 injuries.
The findings were drawn from the FMCSA’s Motor Carrier Management Information System. The federal agency cautions that its 2025 crash data remain provisional and may change as additional information is reported. MCMIS crash records are considered preliminary for 22 months.
The study’s underlying dataset is available online.
The G Law Group, which sponsored the analysis, is a Miami-based personal injury law firm.
