I would also consider that a 20 year old could probably endure more trauma and survive an accident that perhaps someone in the 50+ range would not.

I'd prefer to see figures that break down ages of at fault drivers. This is a small sample size and doesn't actually appear to measure anything other than ages of people involved in a fatality which wasn't necessarily the driver.
