You could probably build a better "media bias detector" than all the lib bullshit projects just by recording what things get passive voice applied to them.
the real life 
Wording aside, how does a train get derailed by a car? A car would be - what - a tonne? A single coach of a train would be 10-20 tonnes.
The F1 racecar is shaped like a wedge, which lifted the train off the tracks and even got a little airborne.
A Metro Rail train has derailed after striking a vehicle in East L.A.
yeah man, i'm sure the rail car just went out of its way to strike the car
What do you mean, of course it did! It even crossed to another set of tracks to do it!
How dare that train drive on its tracks at a regular speed and route? Thousands and thousands of individual drivers of varying degrees of intelligence and impulse control can’t handle this level of chaos!
I like the implication that trains aren't vehicles.
Or that the train is the one at fault. 40% of Trains strike their spouses, you know.
No? Where is that implied?
right in the headline, where it didn't say "another vehicle"
Me: "I was complented by a guy I didn't know"
You: so you must be a woman then.
It absolutely doesn't imply that. YOU are reading into it.
I agree that cars get given cop voice, but this particular example I’m not sure how you could reword that sentence. I think I would say “train derails after striking x” regardless of what the object was.
Train derails after striking cow escaped from pasture. Train derails after striking fallen log.
How about “negligent driver causes trail derailment”
Active voice first.
"A car on the train tracks caused an East LA Metro train to derail"
I like hearing the important part first, here being "train derails"
Fair enough but establishing a causative form is critical here. As written, the train is to blame for striking the car in the same way a car is to blame for striking the pedestrian.
Train derailed by wayward car on tracks
Train derails due to car crossing a red light
Car crossing red light causes train derailment
Driver derails train with foolish and careless driving
This was supposed to be c/traingang, so post as many train pictures as possible.
