There appears to be a flawed assumption built into your argument that the SUV driver is always the one doing the striking/cauing the accident. Am I wrong on that observation?

Let's put it this way. The more energy in a collision the more destructive it will be. Because of their greater mass, collisions that involve SUVs will have more energy and thus be more destructive.
