    I think you’re reaching for something to be angry on this one. I read the title as “[car] crash [involving a] bike”. Shorthand is not at all uncommon in headlines, which need to be snappy. They’re not trying to frame the incident as caused by the bike or anything.

      Yeah, this is about as good as you’ll ever find:

      A man turned himself into investigators on Sunday after fatally striking a bicyclist on a highway, then leaving the scene

      Most places would just say that there was an auto accident involving a truck and a bicycle.
