Not really. There is no debate that speed limits are artificially contrived, and not based on actual safe speed studies of the road in question.

If you're talking about fatalities, then it's common sense that, all other things being equal, a crash at high speed is more likely to result in a fatality than a crash at low speed. Very rarely are all other things equal.
