No, I do understand. I'm as anti-car as the next guy. It's absurd that we have normalised multi-ton death machines travelling at high speeds within arms-reach of pedestrians. One of the first things I said after it happened was "fucking cagers", which is a phrase I picked up years ago from DIY electric bike forums. I don't own a car and hope I never have to.

But it's also not as simple as driver hits pedestrian.

Two drivers were involved. The resulting wreckage slid into us. I am reasonably confident that one of those two drivers is at fault - distracted or not paying enough attention and straying into the wrong lane, but I have no idea which. Maybe I'll find out eventually, when the police finish investigating.

If I was reporting on the crash, then sure, maybe "a driver slid into me after crashing into another car in a collision that was maybe his fault" would be a better title.
