I guess this is a thing. I only copied the link, didn't click on it.
Don't use 'beefstew' as a password. It's not stroganoff.

Sure.....
Behodar: The article starts with "you're washing your towels wrong" and then suggests that I do what I'm already doing.
I was going to say. How wrong can I get "The towels need washing, dear."?
I see this a lot. An article on a topic, today was the storm. So I click on it, there is a bullet point summary, cool. Good idea.
I see another storm article, specific title, I will read that, it goes to the same page.

A falling tree can hit a car, and a car can hit a fallen tree, but how can a fallen tree hit anything, let alone a car?

People writing articles for the media do tend to be very young. I know someone with a blog who writes articles who is very young, and their grasp of the english language isn't great.
The word fallen(past tense), or even falling (present tense) shouldn't have been used in the line at all. I was never good at English myself, but even I know that you can't be hit by something that is fallen, as it has already fallen.

What does age have to do with it? I passed English Language O Level, an exam intended for 16 year olds, when I was 13. With an A.
If you are hiring people to write articles in English, in an English language newspaper, I would have thought that excellent written English was a necessary requirement of the successful candidate.
