I regularly see "traffic collision kills [person or people]" stories in my local newspaper. I don't know if it's every one, it might be restricted to the extremely stupid (wrong-way on the highway, drunk, or excessively-high-speed) but "someone got killed" is certainly a common story in the news here.

I've certainly seen many more local "person dies in car accident" non-brand-related stories than "person dies in Tesla accident" stories.
