Agree with Ktee.
In my mind, if people get killed, at least give them the respect to bother with prosecution and trial. If that turns out to prove innocence or even reasonable doubt, so be it. But even then there are cost implications and raised attention of a court case, that might lead to more political pressure to fix the problems, force extra mirrors, training etc ...
I don't know how the legal system here works, but a judge might rule that the fault is in the road safet policy etc, and that ruling couldn't be ignored?
SO here it is again: Considering that the legal system also prosecutes instances of petty crime, I think they should prosecute things that result in killings.
