Graph: Deaths per 10,000 two-vehicle crashes X axis is weight of car in lbs, from 2,000 to 7,000 Y axis is deaths per 10,000 crashes, from 0 to 40 There are two point clusters with a line, one gray and one red. The gray represents deaths in the car; the red represents deaths outside the car. Gray starts at around 17, dropping sharply then leveling out around 4. Red starts at 3 then climbs exponentially to reach 38. Text alongside: "The [red] fatality rate is roughly seven times higher when colliding with a heavy pickup truck than with a compact car. As the weight of your car increases, the risk of killing others increases dramatically."
