Actually, this is different from "when SUVs attack" stories, in that the article states: "The driver of a sport utility vehicle", "The man behind the wheel drove the SUV" and "The driver of the SUV" -- it actually blames the driver, not the SUV, a fairly rare occurrence these days.
 

Although I agree that the mention of the driver is most likely an oversight on the part of the 'reporter' who is likely suffering a reprimand as a result of this inclusion, I would suggest that due to the fact that the headline clearly places blame upon the SUV, we can infer that the writer meant to lay the blame on the SUV entirely and we shouldn't discount the article as being in the "When SUV's Attack" series.

According to the Left, intentions are everything and therefore it's essential that we lay blame exclusively upon the SUV and not the driver, as the headline urges us to   :-)

Of course, the obvious counter-argument is that the reporters don't write the headlines... :)
