In this paper the main forces and circumstances causing truck accidents in Lithuania are investigated referring to the general analysis of road traffic collision, while the examination of their territorial dispersion is done taking into consideration the following indicators: the number of the accidents and the statistics of injuries and deaths in 2012–2016. The chosen method of black spots enabled to reveal the roads where people were most often injured or killed during the motor vehicle collisions. In this paper much attention is given to combined analysis of the causes of motor vehicle collision. The examined combined approach towards the phenomenon assisted the investigation of the causes involving not only external aspects of the issues of road traffic safety but also the inner reasons of the phenomenon analysed.
