The article opens with "A driver who hit and killed an elderly man in Brisbane’s north...", so the journo did not mince any words. Headlines are made by editors.

Can't upset the advertisers. It would be shocking if real estate and car sales didn't have massive editorial influence. The language around road carnage is manufactured by the industry to diminish their role and that of drivers.
