There needs to be a distinction of where the collision takes place. Does the vehicle come off the road and onto the pavement? Is it somebody stepping off into the road, right into the path of a vehicle? Is it somebody crossing the road and misjudging the speed of the approaching vehicle? Vehicle jumping red lights at a pedestrian crossing? It is important to identify which scenario in order to establish where a reduction in speed limit would have any effect.

That's all true. What wont happen though is a reduction of speed limit causing more deaths. You are slowing people down, not speeding them up.
