Driver crashes into tree after street race

Note the CTV headline Car crashes into tree… except it was the driver who crashed a car into a tree – this in Park Ex after a road race. The car caught fire, but there’s no news about how the tree is doing.

(We’ve discussed before about wording that implicitly absolves drivers and makes it sound like only the vehicle itself is at fault. This distinction will become more important when self-driving cars become more common.)

Update: A passenger was badly hurt in this incident, while the driver walked away. Still nothing about the tree.
