INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — An Indiana trucking attorney is launching Indiana Semi Crash Map, an interactive platform designed to track semi-truck crashes across the state and bring greater visibility to dangerous trucking corridors.
Launched by David W. Craig, the map captures wrecks involving commercial motor vehicles, including semis, tractor-trailers, tankers, dump trucks, flatbeds and other heavy trucks. By compiling incidents from publicly available news reports, police reports and other sources, the platform creates a centralized, searchable view of where serious truck crashes are occurring across Indiana.
“Our goal is to make this information visible while it still matters,” Craig said. “When data isn’t available until long after the fact, it limits the public’s ability to understand where risks are happening. This is about putting that information in front of people sooner.”
A Clear, Accessible Picture of Trucking Activity
“While crash data is typically released through official channels on a delayed basis, the Indiana Semi Crash Map is designed to surface this information much sooner, offering a more current view of developing patterns and high-risk areas,” said a press release on the map launch.
Users can search by roadway, filter incidents by date and explore individual crash markers to access summaries and related coverage. The result is a clearer, more accessible picture of trucking activity and risk across the state’s highways, according to the release.
“The map is part of a broader effort by Craig to make trucking-related information more accessible to the public,” the release said. “By centralizing and updating crash data in a single, searchable platform, the Indiana Semi Crash Map offers a new level of transparency into where and how often these incidents are occurring across the state.”
