#' Read a csv file with automobile fatalities data

#'
#' @param filename The csv filename.
#'
#' @return The function will use the provided file_path to load the data
#'  contained in the csv in memory. If the file cannot be found, the function
#'  will provide an error message.

#'
#' \code{fars_read_years} accepts a vector of years. For each year, the functon invokes

#' Total fatality statitics for each year and month
#'
