The constitution does talk about freedom of movement. I think being able to walk from one State to another (or within) without being killed by a semi is a reasonable and compelling interest of the government that promises such freedom.
If someone dies from cutting down a tree on their property or falls down a staircase in their own home, I am not sure there is as strong of an interest from the government to correct that situation.
That is my hot take. I think a prosperous society should move in the direction of being safer in all regards, but pedestrians dying from licensed motor vehicle operators seems like the government's problem to take seriously and not pearl clutching.
