It is actually hard data to get and I can't find it now. It needs to be fatalities/mile driven. Many world stats are based on fatalities/population fatalities/car owned.
For USA 2014: to 1.18 deaths per 100 million miles traveled

Closest thing I can find now is Brazil - they speak Portuguese - 55.9/1B km = 620M miles or 9 deaths/100M miles, so 5X the USA rate for the same distance. I recall Portugal being higher.
