When you are driving almost 80 mph in a posted 35…that is no accident..That is total disregard for the law, and I think they were right to charge her. This could have all been avoided if she would have followed the law and the speed limit…No pity for her from me.

She’s one of my daughter’s friends. And I know she loved her baby sister very much. The picture above doesn’t reflect the light she emits.

I keep thinking of her mother…

782.071 Vehicular homicide.—“Vehicular homicide” is the killing of a human being, or the killing of an unborn child by any injury to the mother, caused by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another.

The above Florida State Statute is what the driver was charged under. 78 in a 35 is operating a vehicle in a reckless manner.

Other David, “Crown Of Thorns”? Always ready to take offense and attack others? I feel pity for the kid who wrecked. You feel anger at any who express the idea drivers affect the outcome of their driving. And I still look to self-driving cars to reduce suffering. David for the Golden Rule

Am I missing something? What made this a criminal offense opposed to just an accident? I’ll be waiting,as Paul Harvey used to say,for the rest of the story”

Unfortunate accidents are happening way too often and until something is done about it they will keep on happening.. Just look at what’s going on when you’re on the road next time.. A LARGE number of people think they’re better drivers than everybody else because they can Multi-Task while behind the wheel.. I’m sick and tired of it.. I’ve had friends Killed because of people on cellphones.. It was an accident just doesn’t cut it when others die from ones negligence..

Ok, I admit I have been extremely busy lately and have not seen a lot of news. Have I missed some information about this story? When did it change to people being charged with manslaughter because of an unfortunate accident? Was there drinking involved? Drugs? The family is in terrible pain, but an accident is an accident. When you say someone should be charged for not being a better driver you need to honestly look at yourself. There are no perfect drivers out there so get your unjustified ego’s in check. Like I said I have not been diligent with watching or reading the news. Instant judgement from a news piece is uncalled for.

Where in this article does it say the driver was distracted? Where does it say anything about why she lost control? I’m not understanding why people are saying she wasn’t paying attention unless there was an article posted earlier saying just that. Please folks I’m sure everyone involved is already going through a tough time. Don’t make it harder than what it already is. Prayers for the family.

Willy for facts and clarity
