A man turned himself into investigators on Sunday after fatally striking a bicyclist on a highway, then leaving the scene, according to Oregon State Police.
I am a bit lost, the articles title is “Driver faces hit-run homicide in Marion County bike crash”. This seems to not put any blame on the cyclist. It seems much like any time a car hits and kills something, what am I missing?
Some people get upset about the emphasis on the victim’s vehicle. Title ends with: “Media calls it a ‘bike crash’.” They seem to imply the title implied the bike was at fault. Victim blaming.
Other people disagree and see the inclusion of “bike” as useful information, to differentiate from car-to-car crashes.
I meant as the tone of the article, this post was about the media miss handling the homicide. I thought it was a good no punches pulled short write up, hence “what am I missing”.

That fleeing the scene of a collision is an offence in and of itself. Fault doesn’t play into it.
