We have, in this county of 25,000 or so, fatal car wrecks almost every single week.
The news reports, invariably, report that the car "left the road at a high rate of speed, hit ( solid object like a tree) and driver/passenger was thrown from vehicle".
Speeding, no seat belts are too common down here.
