With roads empty, I guess the temptation to wind 'er up is strong!
The article says "...fatality rates increased even as total crash deaths declined."
That is confusing to parse. I guess that there are fewer crashes, but a higher percentage are fatal, but even with a higher percentage of crashes being fatal, overall crash deaths declined.
If I take the headline on HN literally, then I can imagine that there are more fatal crashes and fewer fatalities, because more people are driving alone when they crash.
