I think that was 9 per year but the numbers are still odd.
If there were 875 total crashes over the period for an average of 136 per year then the period must be 6.5 years (875/136=6.4). I don't understand how "between 2011 and 2019" works out to be 6.5 years.
With 6.5 years you can get: 875 total * 48% result in hospital or death * 15% of those are death / 6.5 yrs = 9.7 deaths/year which is close to what was stated.
