Original Note:
NNN, Vance is clearly commenting on the evasive language. AP's own style guide says "Passive voice shifts emphasis from subjects to objects, and thus can conceal the actor. This is especially common with crime stories" https://courses.edx.org/asset-v1:BerkeleyX+ColWri15.1x+1T2016+type@asset+block/Tips_on_Writing_in_the_AP_Style.pdf Post makes no factual statements about the driver.
