Over and above the fact that the data is already biased to Toyota, there are quite a number or variables in an accident, the state of the car,the state of the driver, the condition of the road,familiarity with the road, the other road users,night or day. Again what gravity of accidents are you looking at? If its cars scratching other cars then ofcourse Kayole matatu will be up there regardless of the make.
I think to compare cars in this way lots of factors need to be constant which in an ideal word aren't thereby limiting the use for such an analysis.
Coz of the skewed purchasing behavior of most Kenyans with almost 90% driving a Toyota. I wonder how you will structure your data so that you get a comparative case. What am sure is that the car with the least accident in Kenya is a Ferrari.

You may even get the colour. In some countries, red is the most expensive colour as it trigger higher insurance premium.
Please update us what you find.
My bet, Suzuki is up there. That car is petty prone to over turning if you are not careful.
