There are many millions of car accidents every year, with less than 1% resulting in death. The most important factor in fatal accidents is the speed at which the crash occurred. In the city, traffic density often prevents fast driving, regardless of speed limit. Less traffic means people can drive faster. This doesn't seem like a mystery to me.

So problem solved I guess this guy figured out why it happens. We're done here!

what about in the city, cars hitting pedestrians?

Speed is even more important there, anything over 25 mph should not be allowed in areas where people live. Of course that is not the case even in cities with a clear political will towards walkability the I Need To Drive Fast mentality often wins or at least is thw default

yep, very annoying where we live
