Re: Tragic Accident
What a sad story and for this girl to lose what should have been a wonderful future and her family to have her torn from their lives.Re: Tragic Accident
These kind of events and the associated legal and personal issues are indeed tragic. On one side of the coin, losing a child is arguably the worse thing that can happen to anybody. Not only does it cause great sorrow and grief. It also causes great anger. And that is the case even with disease or accident where there is no other person(s) who can be held accountable. Let alone accidents, fights, drugs and a hundred other things where there is somebody..anybody who can be blamed..negligent friends, doctors who didn't work hard enough to save them, police who aren't working hard enough to catch the perps etc. And indeed often there IS somebody to blame and they should be punished or held responsible of course. Justice needs to be seen to be done. If somebody is driving who shouldn't be for any reason and they know it, then they are responsible and have to face the consequences. But grieving people have to be treated very carefully and sensitively by professionals who know what they are doing. They need to express their anger. And they also need to be watched carefully , with understanding, to ensure that they don't take their anger out on people who are just trying to help or not responsible for their loss. The other side of the coin is sometimes people are innocent. There is no diagnosed condition, there is no obvious negligence or anything else. Things just happen. The law needs to protect everybody and it is not right that an innocent person should be prosecuted and turned into a criminal if they have not broken the law. Sometimes, sadly, a tragedy is just a tragedy.Re: Tragic Accident
Re: Tragic Accident
Unless medical evidence proves otherwise, let's not jump to hasty conclusions about the driver. I bet they're going through some incredible emotions right now about the incident. As ST rightly said, who knows when they are going to faint and can take evasive action?Re: Tragic Accident
Whatever happens that driver will feel guilty for the rest of their lives, that would be a sentence of some kind.Re: Tragic Accident
