It is rare that a car is misused to injure multiple people, it is all too common with guns.
Perhaps if guns were more well-regulated with registration, mandatory training, and licensing things might change.

There are a very high number of guns I expect that were not registered because they were passed down from various family members. I got a lot of mine which were in my house from my older brother who never really liked firearms. I sold most of those to get letters to various victim/witness providers to see what they would like to see in their local libraries to empower survivors/victims of crimes. Seemed very ironic to me though. Part of my 224 613 Project. Numbers I have used since late 1992. They kind of can gauge how I am doing.
And I expect many of these victim/survivors were created by weapons used in domestic abuse cases.
