It’s not a question of active vs passive, just who the actor is. Swapping the actor implicitly swaps blame.

• Car hits bicyclist (car implied at fault, as with all the examples above).

• Bicyclist collides with car (bicyclist implied at fault, they must have been doing something that caused them to get hit).

The assertion made above is that the latter trend is more common, but it was disputed, and the other examples provided in response just follow the first model.
