"But she survived"

From today's Quinion's World Wide Words:

"A headline Benjamyn Lockwood spotted in the Herald of Bellingham,
WA, on 22 June came from the Associated Press: "Sound Transit train
hits teenage girl, survives". Many other news outlets had the same
headline. Kudos to the Seattle Times, which rewrote it to "Teen
girl hit by Sound Transit train, survives"".
