In other news, two cyclists were injured in separate incidents yesterday.

Notice the difference in the language between the two articles.
In the first one: "…after a Dodge SUV hit the rider", and "…when the driver of a pickup truck hit an eight-year-old".
In the second one: "…after a collision with the driver of a pickup truck".
First one active voice about the vehicle hitting the cyclist. Second one passive voice that makes it look it was the cyclist hitting a stationary object.
