[https://www.statista.com/statistics/199980/us-truck-sales-since-1951/](If anyone is searching for an answer why.) Funny how it is almost the same curve.

Correlation is not causation

There could be a 3rd driving force that's causing both trends, among other possible explanations

I think the general consensus is that bigger and more dangerous cars causes more pedestrian deaths.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case

but a correlation (as presented in the first comment) is not a valid explanation (again, as is presented in the comment)

It's good practice 👍🏼 but I probably go for the trucks explanation here
