Pretty often. But let's not argue
My original point was that this story has nothing to do with the A34.
Maybe we'll get an update on the driver's condition sometime, but sadly, someone recovering is not news.
That is true; what is news is the crash and the carnage in its wake. The aftermath is the anticlimax and by then everybody has forgotten all about it. If the out come is reported in the press everybody skims over it, unless they know the person personally. Human nature; people love disasters, deaths, murders, wars, car-crashes etc. They make programmes on it; not on how the victim turned out.
