From official reports:

Averaged over the period 2018 to 2022:

- an average of 2 pedal cyclists died and 81 were seriously injured
(adjusted) per week in reported road casualties

- a majority of pedal cycle fatalities (58%) do not occur at or within 20m
of a junction compared to 33% of all seriously injured (adjusted)
casualties

- almost half (46%) of pedal cycle fatalities were in 2 vehicle collisions between a pedal cycle and a car

- 56% of pedal cycle fatalities occurred on rural roads compared to 30% of traffic

- 82% of pedal cycle killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties were male

- the most common contributory factor allocated to pedal cyclists in fatal
or serious collisions (FSC) with another vehicle was ‘driver or rider
failed to look properly’. It was also the most common factor allocated to
the other vehicles involved

A "car" or a "motor vehicle" (including lorries, especially those
turning left)?

This is all for the UK, yes?

In the link below, they do a breakdown of the type of vehicle.
