Best Answer
Hit can be used as a verb (your example 1) or a noun (your example2).
By using the verb we focus on the action of hitting, something hitting something, the process that occurred.
By using the noun we focus more on the event, the instant of the collision.
The noun usage is less common. The noun usage has other meanings: in baseball there is the concept of a hit and in gangster movies an assassination is referred to as a hit.
