The driver was most likely on their phone when it happened, so hopefully there will be some charges filed. I would love to see the precedent set where killing someone while distracted is treated as murder.
Yes, technically murder would be hard to prove in such a scenario if it was a crime of passion, but I don’t see how being charged with vehicular manslaughter lets you get away with it.
“I didn’t see them” is not the “get-out-of-jail-free” card when it comes to manslaughter.
It really, truly is at least in my part of the USA. Most drivers who kill people and aren’t found to be drunk will never see the inside of a prison.
