NYCDOT Will Track Road Carnage Caused by SUVs

The city Department of Transportation, responding to a wave of cyclist and pedestrian deaths caused by the drivers of SUVs and light trucks, now says it will “begin to track” the vehicles involved in fatal crashes to better evaluate the killing power of the increasingly popular assault cars.

It’s the first time the DOT will examine the role that specific vehicles play in contributing to death from crashes — which are up by double-digit percentages this year.

I read "assault cars" and immediately thought this was satire... but this looks like it's real, believe it or not.

Since most of the best-selling vehicles in the US are pick-up trucks and SUVs, the stats will likely be affected by sales percentages.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
