By putting bicycle at the start of the news article, it makes the topic about bike riders instead of the topic being about bad driving.

See the impression titles give, just by the ordering of the words:

“Bicycle riders hit by car” - cycling is dangerous and don’t belong on the road

“Car hits bicycle riders” - how sad, poor cyclists, irresponsible driver
