It would be like reporting about how a child was killed on a road, but not mentioning that it was because someone did not stop for the flashing lights of a school bus. If you reported that a cyclist was killed at a well-used but unsafe trail crossing, it might suggest to the public and politicians that conditions for cyclists should change.
In the interests of fairness, few details were released by police, it may not have been known at the time what happened.
But yes, the media has issues reporting properly on road safety issues. Our media isn't as bad as some but...it still leaves much to be desired.
