Unusual choice of word or are they suggesting the aircraft struck/was struck by something before reaching the ground?
"Collision" is a generic police term that they use instead of "Accident". eg - "Road traffic Collision". They use it regardless of the circumstances.
I would not therefore describe its use in this case as unusual nor would I particularly read anything into it at this point.
