How likely is a teenage accident?

An article in the Davis County Clipper talks about a fake news article posted to a website by a parents group opposed to the school boundary changes.
So how likely is the scenario? Well, this week I'm in Green Bay. (I now understand the meaning of frozen tundra.) Two high school students were killed here yesterday morning because they turned in front of a Semi-Truck on a busy street. You can read an article about the incident here.
This accident could have easily happened on Highway 89 in Farmington. Just some food for thought, or maybe the cold weather has gotten to me.
