(I haven't verified that that statistic is correct; I'm taking it on trust.)

The US is much less densely populated than Europe. Are more of those miles that Americans drive on nice straight wide near-deserted roads?

Europe and the US are both big varied places. I bet those accident rates are highly variable. What do you see if you break them down by population density, urban versus rural, rich versus poor, etc.?
