“Our study found that, in the case of a crash, being hit by an SUV or LTV increased the odds of a pedestrian or cyclist being killed or seriously injured by around a quarter. The odds of a pedestrian or cyclist being killed increased by 44% for adult/all-age samples and increased by 82% for children."

At this point, you basically have to be a pretty special kind of person to own an SUV (in fact we’ve known how lethal they are for at least 10 years). A good summary on Forbes of this and the other reasons why SUV owners really ought to rethink their ownership.
