And how many people died in cars that day that got no coulumn inches at

One has to ask the same question of cyclist and pedestrian deaths.....

I witnessed the near demise of two 15 year old (estimated age) cyclists last
Friday. They were pratting about riding at an inappropraite speed on the
pavement pulling wheelies, one pulled onto the road without checking if it
was safe to do so, the other lost control, veered onto the road and knocked
his friend of his bike and the pair ended up in a heap a foot in front of a
car that miraculously managed to stop in time. Didn't think it was
newsworthy but an opportunity presented itself in this thread....
