While there is sometimes a place for the passive voice, this is not one of those times. Reliable sources report that it was indeed the driver who rammed a car into pedestrians and then began stabbing them. Sentences like “pedestrians had been driven into” sound bad, provide less information than what is given in sources, and should be rewritten.
