Not sure about mortality rate on the two highways but the S2S had an average of 215 accidents per year around the year 2000, whereas the Coq had an average of 360 accidents. Those were the newest figures I could find comparing the two. The S2S now has an average of 75 crashes per year, though I can imagine that the Coq is likely around the same number it was a decade ago.
