Grammar Nazi Returns

"The former Atlantic Falcons player [Joey Harrington] broke his collarbone and suffered a punctured lung after an SUV struck him while riding his bike." -- The Hollywood Reporter, 8/2/11 (Source)

Leaving aside that the team is actually called the Atlanta Falcons, what was an SUV doing riding Harrington's bike? Or was it the SUV's bike? It got hard to match pronouns to antecedents toward the end there.

I've always wondered what my car was doing when I wasn't looking. Those scratches came from somewhere, and I know I didn't put them there. If it's anywhere near as clumsy on a bike as I am that would explain the boo-boos.

And I heart Grammar Nazis!

I just want to know how an SUV pedals a bicycle. Those axles aren't that flexible.
