Even per distance driven the fatality rate is close to twice that of Germany. My first thought when reading about that accident was "why was it even possible to go 100mph there?". The infrastructure should prevent speeding as well as penalties and countries which implemented such measures have generally better outcomes. In that case I would see that intersection turned into a roundabout. Sometimes more drastic measures are required: in my neighbourhood speed bumps were introduced on a two lane road because people kept overtaking on the intersection there and of course hitting pedestrians this way.
