Does anyone have a link/article/study showing that frontal and side impacts happen more often than rear end collisions?

It's actually , frontal, around 70, rear around 23, side around 7, if i remember correctly.
However, despite the fact that at 7% side impacts are the most infrequent, they count for 30% of fatalities. So they are by far the most deadly.
I tried to find stats like this earlier this summer and was unable to find them in the CPS manual. All it had (IIRC) was the general "frontal are most common and side are most dangerous." I didn't really find anything firm when I searched around online either. Good luck!
(in a argument with someone and she is saying rear end collisions happen 90+ % of the time)....
well someone might get rear-ended but 50% of that crash (other car is frontal)
I wonder how "fender-benders" play into crash statistics
