Initial police report is just based on one witness.
They state witnesses, so that implies there were more people who saw the crash, other than the driver who was struck. We don’t know for sure if they themselves recall the details.

Both are false statements, in the GoFundMe.I'm not sure what you are taking issue with. These are the only two sentences describing the collision. The first one talks about the "strike" and the second modifies to say that Ranns was probably the cause.
Daniel Ranns died after his small westbound pickup was struck by an eastbound one-tonne truck on Hwy 18 on Sunday afternoon.

In a head-on collission, I don't think you can say one vehicle struck the other, or the opposite. The only question is, where did the collision occur (which lane)?

Did you actually read the GoFundMe? I did:

No, that’s not true. If witnesses say one vehicle crossed the line, the fault lies with that vehicle.
I did not speak to fault. I am speaking to the terminology of the crash. One car striking another, or vice versa.
If your car is stopped and my car crashes into you, I'd say I struck you. Does not speak to fault.

The Westshore:
Hwy 18 crash kills Metchosin teen—a lacrosse player and the former mayor's grandson
Daniel Ranns via GoFundMe
Daniel Ranns died after his small westbound pickup was struck by an eastbound one-tonne truck on Hwy 18 on Sunday afternoon. Ranns, 18, the grandson of former longtime Metchosin mayor John Ranns, recently graduated from Royal Bay Secondary in Colwood.
Ranns, an eight-term mayor, said that the family is devastated and the the teen was on a trip to look into buying a trailer that he could live in on the family farm. He told the Times Colonist that the 6’5” Daniel was often carrying younger family members on his shoulders, and that the family appreciates the love and support coming in but asks for privacy.
The young lacrosse player, whose parents both coach lacrosse, was remembered by his Westshore Bears coach as a hard worker with a “heart of gold.” JDF Lacrosse remembered him as a player and assistant coach who had a “warm heart and unwavering kindness" that touched everyone around him.
Family friends began a fundraiser, which has nearly reached its $45k goal.
Per police, who did not name Daniel Ranns in their release, a witnesses indicated his vehicle may have drifted into the other lane. Crews tried to free the teen from the wreckage, but he was later pronounced dead. The roadway was shut for some time and the driver of the other truck was hospitalized with what RCMP say appeared to be minor injuries.

Nope, you twisted it all completely around. AND you were too lazy to even read the GFM.
All I did was clip and paste from WS verbatim.

The police are very good at establishing the point of impact in most crashes, lets leave it to them.
