It is in many countries. For example, in Germany, in any situation where a driver and a pedestrian or cyclist crash, the driver always has partial fault. In cases where the cyclist or pedestrian dies, it almost always is a crime for the driver.

In some situations, when the driver is driving recklessly, it becomes murder. On February 27, a driver was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment for murder by car: http://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/zeitgeschehen/2017-02/berlin... (that was two drivers doing an illegal car race, and hitting a car that wasn’t participating).
