From the article:
Lacey was apparently the victim of road rage, and not the
intended victim, either. An imbecile (that authorities
believe had been drinking) smashed into him in pursuit of
another car.
If I were a journalist, I would not be employing terms like "imbecile"--especially not to refer to someone capable of road rage.
