This person just missed the agency that _actually does this already_. It's not the NTSB, it's NHTSA. There's a database of every fatility that happens in a vehicle on American roadways. You can download it. It's amazing.
Every fatal accident is documented. Often in incredible detail. I'm annoyed that this is often overlooked. Particularly in this case.
And yes, drivers get blamed a lot, because drivers are most often at fault. Drugs or alcohol and/or speeding are factors in the majority of fatal accidents.
This is already known.
For an article that's attempting to so strenuously walk the high road, the omission of these facts is bizarre to me. How serious can they be?
