The police say she was at fault. Her speed wasn't the issue, she didn't yield the right of way and the other vehicle smashed into hers.

Someone is always going to be at fault in an accident, but an accident by definition isn't intentional.

Correct, but negligent or reckless operation of a motor vehicle is also unlawful.

I don't think anyone disputes that. What I'm confused about is the tone of the posts. Do people feel as though she should be at the mercy of some criminal court? She will most definitely be sued in civil court, which in my opinion is where this issue belongs.

She has been sued for wrongful death. Certainly people get charged by the state with negligent operation, but I agree it's inappropriate to vilify her.

I don't like the use of the word accident. The inference of that word is that no one did anything wrong which is almost always not correct. They will not even say it on the traffic reports here in D.C. From the way it was presented she caused a crash and someone died. She was cited, albeit after the fact, for her actions. She will probably be fined for that. It also fortifies the merit of any civil suit brought by the family of the deceased man. I have no problem with her personally nor do I have any problem with her playing at Wimbledon.

I agree. All Accidents are Avoidable but some think it was fate or there is nothing that could have been done to prevent it or them.

With that mind set, accidents will continue to happen and people will continue to be hurt or killed.
