DRIVERS of small cars are more likely to die or suffer serious injury than motorists in all other kinds of motorcars, a comprehensive study has found.

Researchers found motorists driving old-style Rover Minis had a 14% chance of being maimed or killed in serious two-car accidents.

Drivers behind the wheel of Land Rover Defenders were least likely of all motorists to be killed or seriously hurt with a one 1% chance.
