Data on *fatal* crashes in the U.S. is available via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration #CrashAPI and my own {crashapi} #RStats package https://elipousson.github.io/crashapi/index.html

The API only goes back to 2010 but the package include helpful functions for downloading the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data files that go back to 1975. #SafeStreets
