Why were the passengers and the driver of the SUV referred to as “patients”? Was this a medical transport SUV taking patients to or from a hospital or clinic?
Patient: a person receiving or registered to receive medical treatment.
So the sentence is correct. They were receiving medical treatment on route under medical supervision. Therefore, they are patients.
Following the crash they became patients is how I read the article.
Fair enough. But just for the sake of understanding, the sentence leads in with “As a result of the crash…” So as a result, they are now patients since it follows with them immediately being under medical care.

Here’s another “nit” with this report. It states, “Traffic on both sides of the freeway were impacted as a result of the crash”. The word “were” should be “was”. The word “Traffic” is a singular noun and requires a singular verb.
