There was an artical a while back comparing the number of people killed per 10,000 vehicles of a type on the road and the ford explorer killed around 110 people per 10,000 on the road and the Honda Civic killed around 15.
You can't see as well out of an SUV so you are more likely to run in to things and people, 4 wheel drive tends to get you in more trouble as it makes you feel invincible while driving up to that point that you roll over in to the ditch and die, if the roads are bad enough to need 4 wheel drive then you should stay home! 4 wheel drive is a crutch for bad drivers.
