As usual, motornormative loaded language downplaying the agency of the driver. It’s never “person drives car into pedestrians;” it’s always “car hits pedestrians” as if it’s some inevitable thing that “just happens.”

If you say that the car hit the pedestrians then that cannot be disputed.
If you say that the driver drove into the pedestrians then you could be sued if it was later proven to be mechanical failure.

This is awful news. My concern is it’s lone actor grievance fuelled violence. He even hurt kids
