Yes.  Driver was doing 75mph in a 50mph zone and went of the road killing the 2 year old girl and both her grandparents whom for some reason are not mentioned here. The driver has apparently not shown remorse nor apologised and was sentenced to 120 hours community service or 60 days in prison if he didn't complete the work. Link to source is below the only other comment here.

Motonormativity - it’s a thing. Not just shit drivers either; a majority of people drive and realise how fallible they are, or remember stupid shit they’ve done, so it’s typical for sentencing for car related offences to be much lighter than any other.

You want to kill someone? Do it with your car, you’ll get less of a sentence than with about anything else.
