A comment on Roads Are Getting Deadlier for Pedestrians. Parent comment
Found a study from 2005 - https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/11/4/232
Light truck (pickups, suvs, vans) accounted for ~30% higher relative risk vs cars.
Surprisingly (to me) motorcycle/pedestrian accidents are three times as likely to result in a fatality.
Personally I think it's mostly related to distracted driving/walking but vehicle type almost certainly plays some role.
