"Not an act of terrorism"

They don't know what the motive was, but they're sure it's not terrorism?  That seems a bit premature...

If, as I've read elsewhere, there was a 3 year old in the car, the only two options are psychotic break or terrorism.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

When they don't release a name it is is very suspicious.  Similar to when  "youths" is the main descriptor of a urban gang attack.

Probably can't take brain damage from recreational drugs out of the picture.

 Still, apparently she's illegally used a vehicle before. Why was there no background check run on her before she bought that car? The car culture is responsible for this.

Ah, yes. I forgot drugs. That's probably the highest probability explanation.

Agreed.  After all, nobody needs 200 horsepower, only the military should have vehicles that powerful.  Big engines like that practically require high capacity fuel tanks, and many have semi-automatic transmissions.

Story I saw claims the aw-thaw-rih-tays DO know the motive -- but they don't want to discuss it. That says only one thing to me, and it ain't "drugs."

On the other hand, there's the source ... :shrug:
