It's funny how we say "a bug hit my windshield" when we are the ones going 70mph. I'll bet the bug's family describes it differently

Every time a car hits something it’s described that way, or in a passive voice.
It’s too make the driver/car sound less dangerous.
E.g. “pedestrian dies after collision with car”

As someone who lives in car centric city in America, I have never in my life heard a story where a person gets hit by a car and it not be described actively as the drivers fault

It’s your lucky day, then!
Car crashes through Milwaukee beauty salon, causes major damage
Why would a car decide to do that? The poor driver just “lost control” of it when it did. The closest this article gets to blaming the driver is to note that they was speeding, which is an implication, at best.
Here’s another one:
Car crashes into garage on Northwest Side
No mention of a driver at all!

Where I’m from, you have to be careful on the back roads. Passengers will suddenly run out from the trees and just slam into your car.
