NTARC Major Incident Investigation 2025 Report Release

The 2025 NTARC Major Incident Investigation Report is now live! This is the second research report produced under a partnership between NTI, the National Road Safety Partnership Program (NRSPP) and the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC).

This is a crucial report that analyses heavy vehicle accident data to identify causes, trends, and contributing factors. Inattention/distraction, inadequate following distances and inappropriate speeds are among the top three sub-causes of all human-factor crashes.

“The report has deliberately been released during October as Safe Work Month. Heavy vehicle drivers deserve a safe work environment free from the risk of death or serious injury. Industry and government are working together to make change, and the NTARC Partnership is committed to continuing to support heavy vehicle road safety research to better understand the unique hazards of the sector and how they can be appropriately managed to better protect the drivers that keep Australia moving.” (NTI’s Chief Executive Officer Janelle Greene)
