Does anyone know where on the web I could find this information?  
Let’s say I was comparing the chances of death in accidents in a Mecury Grand Marquis, Ford Taurus or Grand Caravan. Which has the highest/lowest number of accidents per miles travelled? Which has the highest/lowest number of deaths per accident?  
Would I need to be an insurance agent or actuarial to find this out?
