Really, please cite a reference- I'd be curious to know why this is true?

Also, if you have an accident at 60mph vs. 40mph, the accident will
involve twice as much energy.

It's no surprise whenever I read about a multi-vehicle traffic crash in
the paper, and somebody is hurt or dead, either alcohol or speeding were a
factor on the part of one of the vehicles.
