Makes sense for reporters to play it safe I think, as what the car did is a clearly observable fact. Wording it like "The driver drove his car into the sidewalk" portraits the sense the driver deliberately performed the action. While other circumstances might be a play. Better to wait for official investigation to clarify this.
- robben1234 7y agoIt doesn't matter if it's deliberate action or not, cars do not drive themselves into accidents. The same logic, the car not driver, used for subject of the ban. Ban reckless driving and dangerous behavior. SUV ban won't stop accidents like these. At best they will achieve less injuries because the cars being drove into pedestrians gonna get smaller.
