If a database were available showing the color of all vehicles on the road, the color of all vehicles striking and either injuring or killing pedestrians, and an assessment of whether the driver or the pedestrian was at fault, we could crunch the numbers and deduce that drivers of X colored vehicles kill more pedestrians on a per capita basis. However, I don't see where that proves that X colored vehicles or the drivers of X colored vehicles are somehow more dangerous for pedestrians. And, no one has yet presented evidence even remotely suggesting that pedestrian fatalities from hybrids are rising, or even present, anywhere, ever. It's probably happened, if only once, but fatal lightning strikes also happen.

Pedestrian fatalities are indicative of several factors. The statistics, analysis and countermeasures presented in these links are quite illuminating.
