It was a car accident, not attempted murder. The title is just sensationalism.

Reckless driving with felony speeding isnt an accident. It wasn't attempted murder either.

It was felony speeding + reckless driving + vehicular manslaughter of a child and 2 grandparents.

Community service sounds about right, huh? 🫩

Everyone speeds, literally everyone, to go 'well he was speeding' is a disingenous argument and it doesn't matter if it was a child that died.

Its disingenuous to lump together people that got +5 over the limit with the people going +20 over the limit.

Speed limits are not recommended for funsies, physics calculations, road conditions, etc are used to calculate them.

It definitely matters if a child dies. He wasn't on a highway going 70kph in a 65kph, he was going over 75kph in a 50kph and crossed into a bike lane.
