Default Re: Mishap with Drag car at a Parade

Andy,
Vehicular homicide charges are brought when "recklessness" is proven. In most states, that requires either drug or alcohol proof. In this case, while it may certainly seem that the driver was "reckless" in his exhibition, that exhibition was allowed and condoned by the organizers. We don't know if the organizers put any restrictions on him or not. They probably didn't even anticipate the power of the car. So, in a way, it probably does fall back on the driver for putting too much into it on a street with people all along it. I'm sure his life will be miserable for a long time......for a few reasons.
I'm sure the law suits will name everyone involved, even indirectly, such as the city, or those who built the car or made the tires.

What an overall tragedy............
