Cars kill people every day. It's disingenuous to call this a freak accident.

20 casualties from a single automobile is mercifully rare.

There were 71 pedestrian car crashes in 2021 in MA. Not every day. And not all driver fault.

The number you’re looking for is 75. That is the number of pedestrian fatalities in MA in 2021. For each fatality there are many more crashes, each of which can cause debilitating injury.
