Interestingly worded title - did the car drive itself into the crowd? No, right? Then why would they word it like that?
Anyway, more evidence to support the fact that cars are far too efficient as weapons to be granted as much free rein as they are today. Bollards save lives, implement them liberally throughout any areas with pedestrians.
How would you word the title though? I think the title needs to be very neutral at first, especially when they don’t have many details to tell whether it was an accident, and attack, if it was driven by a man, a woman, in auto mode, etc. I’m pretty sure they will report it as an attack if the police confirms it was.
‘Driver hits pedestrians with car’ is neutral enough.
