Researchers who analysed 10,000 crashes say car size does matter

abc.net.au↗ Researchers who analysed 10,000 crashes say car size does matterA study of 13 years of crashes in Australia finds a link between car height and risk of pedestrian death, particularly for women and children.

When they modelled the outcome of crashes that only differed in vehicle size, they found that every 100kg of vehicle weight increased fatality odds by 6 per cent, and for every 10cm of vehicle height, the odds of a pedestrian death rose by 11 per cent.
