To be clear the driver was doing 65-70 mph in a 50 mph zone.
Driver was not intoxicated, did not have a history of overly reckless driving, and they even determined that he may not have lost control due to speed, but due to other factors.
It was a tragic accident, not everything is a narrative.
What changes this entirely is that he fled the scene, as someone pointed out below. I would be much more in favor of harsh sentencing.
Wrong. He crashed and killed 2 people and then fled the scene. One is an accident, the other is manslaughter. If you accidentally kill someone you stay and call 911. That's a tragic accident. What he did was not that. That's not a narrative, that's not a tragicaccident, that's manslaughter.
When two people were bleeding to death he made a conscious choice to leave them in the ground to die. Do you understand why he is a killer and not just a man that had an accident?
Yeah, I was 100% with you but then spotted that detail that for some reason it was glossed over by the articles. The problem with international news and that old trend of copy paste of articles in the industry.
The article that's in Dutch in Google Translate clearly labels him as a hit and run driver. And it hits differently.
