To be fair, motor vehicles are only the #2 leading cause of child deaths, right after guns [1]. I guess guns don't kill people either? Shrug.
Some interesting statistics:
"Rollins says every week in our country, 110 kids are hit by vehicles in parking lots and driveways.
“Picture 110 children standing in front of you. Every week, that’s how many children are being run over because drivers just can’t see them,” Rollins said.
Of those incidents, 60 of them are frontovers and 50 are backovers." [2]
