Crashes not 'accidents'

"More than 5,800 people who have been killed on Australian roads over the past five years."

"Vehicle crashes are the most common cause of death for Australian children and the second most common cause of death for those aged 15-24."

"More than 1,250 people have been killed in crashes already this year — the highest number since 2016."
