The BBC hit new lows in this report on events in Paris

Not only does this BBC report start with the, usual for the BBC, phrased line:
'A car has struck a group of soldiers in Paris, injuring six, two seriously, police say.' 

Those cars can be so dangerous, best ban them. But further down the report is this sub-header:
Car 'lay in wait'
And then the follow-up lines:
'He said a vehicle had been waiting in the road for the soldiers to emerge as they came on duty.

"It was a BMW which accelerated very quickly the moment they came out."'
Do the BBC do this deliberately? What do they hope to gain by obfuscating what happened?

Obviously we don't know what happened in this incident. But I know what the BBC are hoping wasn't the cause.
