Would you like the statistics for pedestrian deaths? Or traffic deaths in general?

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 15 points 9 months ago

Trolley deaths are probably way less common!

So everyone dies, from being crushed, or from pollution.

Yep, basically

Since reaching their lowest point in 2009, pedestrian deaths have increased 80% and account for 17% of all traffic deaths.
