This is completely incorrect, it is extremely simple to demonstrate that accidents increase with speed and also that such accidents are more likely to result in injury.

What you are alluding to are extremely misleading studies which do not separate fender benders as a separate category, since they are the most common collision and almost always happen due to congestion and distractions. Collisions where injuries occur are significantly more probable as speed goes up.
