Uhh, this isn’t passive voice, though? Passive voice would be “cyclists are crashed into by car”. This makes it pretty clear: the car is the thing that actively caused harm here.
Yeah, I misspoke slightly. I’m not sure what the correct terminology is (for excusing the person by blaming the inanimate object/tool), though, so I can’t correct it.
Yet again, an article that’s actually about a driver running over and killing cyclists phrasing the title in exculpatory passive voice. SMH
