How do you get a misdemeanor when you kill someone?
Just a thought, it may have been the car that she sideswiped initiated the accident, the article is not clear. Recently, a man in Houston ran over and killed a guy on the Feeder road exit of the freeway at night, no pedestrians allowed. He , the driver was slightly over the limit. The fact the pedestrian was not supposed to be there and it was reasonable to assume that even if he had not been drinking, he still would have run over him. So, if the car that sideswiped the 22 year old caused her to lose control, then it may not have been legaly her fault.
