Melbourne University study links taller, heavier cars to higher pedestrian death risk

Report ties findings to Australia's shift toward SUVs and pick-up trucks

1 Sep 17 2:48 PM · 6d ago · 2 articles · 2 sources · development 1 of 3

The coverage notes sedan and hatchback sales have declined since SUVs overtook them in 2017, mirroring a US trend, and links this shift to Australia's pedestrian death rate rising over the past five years after years of decline; the analysis also compares the new Australian figures to a prior US study finding a 22% higher pedestrian death risk per 10cm of front-end height.

“For every 10cm of vehicle height, the odds of a pedestrian death rise by 11 per cent.”
