was struck by a vehicle

Was no one driving the vehicle? Why the passive voice?

I wonder how they describe it when a cop gets run over.

Attempted man slaughter

Oh yeah, our elementary school was doing that event though we already walked to school. It's weird how car centric people are even on that day. Not a single house is more than a 15 minute walk to the school but there's always a chaotic mess of cars in front every morning.

They're always the worst kind of people, too. Honking and doing illegal things and only maybe 20% have car seats for their kids. We always gotta be as careful as possible, but at least it's just the streets immediately around the school; the rest of the walk is lovely, albeit with tons of mosquitoes lately.

Is the driver going to go away for attempted murder? Lose their license? Anything?
