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.

I know this is mean, but I really don’t care about the status of the individuals. I highly doubt they’re anything but a burden to society and their families.
