Comment: No, they would say it was a horrible accident, they wouldn't be charged. Your family would have to file a civil suit. I remember about 5 years ago a impaired driver ran over a pedestrian and killed him on the spot, they let him go home and take some nappy time. If it was me, maybe if it was you, we'd be sitting in jail for jail all this time. So she was cited for running a red light that resulted in a death, she must know someone, because they would put my sorry ass in jail.
