“My sincerest sympathy to those involved and their families. I truly realise what an effect that this can have on the driver, as well as all the families involved.
I think that the reporting of these "traffic incidents" has improved, in that they are generally no longer referred to as "accidents" (except by the BBC!) - there is usually a culpable person. However,you still make reference to vehicles hitting people rather than emphasising that it is the person at the wheel who has generally caused the vehicle to collide with the person/ other vehicle.”
