I know this is obvious, despite Megaspaz’s wish to argue about it , but as it’s a beginner site, I’ll say it anyway.
A catastrophic mechanical failure, or you hitting an oil / grit / sand patch at high speed, some dickhead pulling out of a side street or left turning in front of you, etc. There are any number of reasons where the faster you are going, the less chance you have of getting out of it alive (or at least uninjured).
The biggest factor as to whether you will live or die in an “accident” is how fast you were going before the impact.
