The point is that "car drives into pedestrians" and "a vehicle struck several people" completely ignores the driver operating the vehicle.

"We would ask people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding tonight's incident on Water Street in Liverpool city centre," a police spokesperson said.

I think it's so they don't focus on the attacker, because the public goes nuts after these things.

The public rightly so should go nuts at these kind of things. Cars are dangerous.

They would be going nuts on scapegoat minority, not a car.

Going nuts asking for better protections from cats.
