Comment: Everyone knows that hitting and killing a pedestrian is emotionally traumatic. It's not news. Neither is the probable damage to her vehicle, the fact that it disrupted whatever she was doing for several hours, or the fact that the road was probably closed for a lengthy period. All those things are true but we know them already.

Perhaps you would be happier if articles like this read "___ was not PHYSICALLY injured." Except, we really don't know that either, do we? Stress is harmful and emotional trauma may have physical impact down the road. Again, though, not really news.
