Without knowing the measure and methodology it's impossible to form a logical conclusion. If there are 10x more BMW's than Toyotas in Sweden, then it would be reasonable to expect 10x more accidents involving BMW's. You need to normalize the results for the distribution of vehicles and control for variables like driver age and location to get a useful result.
The chart may well be normalized, but unless it explicitly says so then interpretations are just based on assumptions.

That is indeed something that needs to be considered and I don't know if that has been taken into account.
Although I doubt the difference between the numbers of Toyota's and BMW's over here is pretty small.
