Because that's not how things work in the real world?

except that

"The new reports do not prove there’s a direct risk caused by the use of marijuana among motorists, but they raise caution flags, especially since there is no easy way to test drivers to be sure if they are, in fact, under the influence of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, said David Harkey, president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Highway Loss Data Institute"

so that increase is in any type of accident where anyone involved had cannabis in their system. A substance where the metabolites can persist for 30 days. If a pedestrian is hit by a drunk driver and they have cannabis in their system, that counts toward the 6% increase seen in two years.

and

"Harkey cautioned there are limits to what the studies show. There is a “correlation,” reflecting the fact that crashes rose once pot became legal, but that is not the same as “causation,” he added, meaning other, unseen factors could be at work."

the reality is that if cannabis was a significant risk vector, there'd be a lot more accidents and fatalities over the period of legalization.
