Yes. But also if we’re going to be accurate then hit by driver doesn’t work either. So hit by car being driven etc does it better.

I get the point but not hit by driver either, unless the driver got out and hit them. It’s ‘hit by a car being driven on X road’.

Also wild that professional media coverage of this contained no other perspectives at all.

❄️ Edinburgh Live last week confidently said: "The snow is set to start from 6am on Tuesday and fall for the rest of the day."
Of course it hasn't. Those 'exact time' articles are clickbait. I link to them anyway to encourage critical thinking about media.

Exact time Edinburgh set for snow and sleet showers as freezing conditions continue
On Tuesday, temperatures will peak at 3C before dropping to -1C overnight. The capital is set to face light snow showers and a gentle breeze as the week goes on.
