Good question. Suppose the wreck would have involved another car that resulted in deaths. Does one still think he shouldn't be held accountable? How do you differentiate justice between family and strangers.

Plus some aren't considering that driver is responsible for those not wearing seat belts. He could be charged with 5 counts of involuntary manslaughter if they want money.

actually charging him with involuntary manslaughter would probably cost money instead of making money.

First the parents are to blame the kid should not have been driving at night.
Another thought i had about this is.
An 05 tahoe doesn't have 3 rows so some of these people were riding in the cargo area DUMB DUMB DUMB. Also it could have bucket seats in the middle row so there is less seats again. It is very sad that this family is lost because of someone not taking responceabilty and making sure evetyone was buckled on like there suposed to be.

What time did the wreck happen?

another example, both writing the ticket and some of the responses here, of now completely screwed up our 'law enforcement' mentality is....
if someone has to explain to you how INSANE this is, you're part of the problem

well if we were to imprison him then it would cost the state money. so instead of collecting revenue like they would with a ticket they would be spending money.

I don't think there is any justice here. Authorities can certainly make things worse though.

According to law, isn't this the responsibility of the driver?

I didn't read through to see if it's been posted, but this is about determining the root cause, insurance claims, future law suits, etc. It's very sad, yes, but very common in cases like this. It's not like he was charged with vehicular negligent homicide.

Sometimes you have to take into account all the circumstances and decided that maybe since it was a one car accident and the out come was so tragic and clearly an accident that we shouldn't try to shake down a kid for revenue.
I think this was already taken into account since he wasn't charged with vehicular manslughter

I wonder how often adults that arent in the front seats wear seat belts.
Kid is going to be a mental disaster his entire life.

LEO could call the insurance company and explain the situation. It's not like there is a dispute over who was at fault. There was one vehicle involved. Reguardless, the insurance company will pay out either way, if they had full coverage. Compassion goes a long way and the public would in no way frown apon a child that didn't get a ticket. Now, you have people frowning. Poorly handled in my book.

Sad but how do you sleep with a 16 yo behind the wheel? I wouldn't trust a 16 yo with my matchbox car much less my real car...and the life of my family.
Posted on 11/21/14 at 12:42 pm to Robin Masters
Both of the parents were teachers.
How in the world were they so irresponsible to have almost no seatbelts on AND a 16yo behind the wheel on the interstate?
Like seriously, dafuq?
