Horrendousness in Italy

Why is the driver's nationality mentioned at all at this point? Perhaps if, at some point, there is a story about different standards of driving in different countries then I can see how it would be relevant but immediately after the collision?
I think the pictures are horribly distressing but, since they don't show the victims bodies, just the sheets over them (which somehow makes it all the more upsetting) I feel that they really make a powerful point.

Because Moroccans drive like maniacs.
