I suspect that fatal accidents that are due to roadway design issues are more likely to result in the roadway being changed quickly; so it doesn't happen again. Especially if the fatalities are at the scene.

Minor accidents can happen for years at the same intersection, because of the same design issues, without triggering urgent followup, if it doesn't somehow trigger a response from officials.
