...in a crash that didn't involve fleeing from the police or a personal dispute.

Unfortunately, they don't have a number on how many were not charged. 178 total people were killed by vehicles last year, though. That's insanely high.

- According to this link, New York rates 13th worst in fatality rate per 100,000 people. - Inigo Jul 11, 06:36 1

- We're on pace to have more people killed by cars than murdered. So we've got that going for us. - Krusty Jul 11, 06:28
