Going back to SUVs in the city, I've been driving the folk's Kia Sorrento SUV for the past month, whilst waiting for my sedan to have its timing job done. Whilst the SUV is comfortable and gives a better range of view up front, there are a lot of blind spots back of the front windows. Would be interesting to see data on cause of road injuries and fatalities around the "city", and how many had blind spots contributing to it.
Every accident that is recorded with a fatality will have the information you speak of, police will investigate the accident and forward the information onto the coroner, then it is up to the coroner to give any recommendations from the inquest.
