Put in perspective and to be sure we are comparing like things, the oranges to oranges concept, how many people were killed in motor vehicle collisions? Without looking it up I venture to say that many times 10 have been died in motor vehicle collisions.
Then there is the matter of fault. Assuming the number "10" is correct who caused the death. In this context big difference between a death self-caused and one imposed by a passing motorist.
