Come on, no sane person would read this headline and reach this conclusion.
Describing the vehicles involved in a collision is standard because you generally don’t know the identity of the driver(s) immediately and saying the “driver of a red SUV struck the driver of a blue Mazda” is slightly wordier. It’s not some conspiracy.
Honestly, quibbling about headline word choice when a bunch of people are injured and possibly fighting for their lives is just super gross

It's a meme opinion and virtue signaling.

"Meme opinion." Ok.
When someone is shot, do the headlines say "man shot by gun" or do they say "man shot by [insert human being]? You know the answer. Car culture is a death cult, for real.

If the headline says 'man shot' I am thinking gun not crossbows or peashooters.

Yeah, I know the answer because someone thought of this already and I already answered them. When someone is shot you don't even have to say "by a gun" because you can't get shot by a knife.
