Motorist dies after crashing into White House gate

Authorities characterized the wreck as ‘only … a traffic crash’ rather than an intentional, politically motivated act

Died... because of the crash? Or because five snipers made him before he connected with the gate?
I wouldn't categorize getting sniped as 'only ... a traffic crash'.
I want to know what was said in between "only" and "a traffic crash."
