Fatal crashes in the US
From 2020 to 2023, 18 VZR1800 vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 15 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.
