What is probable cause of most accidents on Hwy 50 East Shore Corridor?

What is the probability of factors other than speed in excess of posted limit being the cause of accidents along Tahoe East Shore Corridor between Stateline and SR28, including intersections?

Using the sample of traffic accident data taken between 2016 and 2020 and applying standard statistical hypothesis testing methodology, we conclude that of 534 total accidents, approximately 92% of accidents are likely to result from other factors than speed, including snow, ice and other road conditions, impaired drivers, reckless behavior and issues at intersections other than excessive speed.
