Am I just too cynical or does "killed after being struck by car" sound like it's trying to downplay it?

If I stabbed someone, the headline would not be "person stabbed by knife". Even if it was an accident caused by me waving it around recklessly in the kitchen or something, that would be a ridiculous headline.
