He should also be charged with not having his 9-year-old daugher in a seatbelt. She would most likely be alive today had she been buckled up.

This guy picked a hell of a time to get concerned about his daughter’s safety. Maybe next time you’ll make sure she’s buckled in, chief.

Well, I won't disagree with that, as I'm a firm believer in seat belts, but at what point did she die?

Is there a later story?

FYI, she was critically injured, not killed.

If the driver was a an illegal without a license or insurance, I hope he whipped that driver’s backside but good.

Your car is destroyed, they have no insurance and then they won’t show up to court, your own insurance has to cover the expenses, and then there is your daughter who had been hurt.

Agreed. However I question if the driver who caused the accident might have been intoxicated and/or an illegal immigrant (Both big problems here). Waiting to hear more about this before making a judgment...

I’ll withold judgment on the assault. I’ve gotten the, “So what, not my problem.” line from people who have just done something horribly negligent/dangerous. If I received that line after someone had just hurt my child, I might go postal on them too.

That said, I keep my kids restrained in a vehicle, and love the four point restraint of child seats.

Ran a red light. Talking on his cell phone perhaps?

I can’t tell you the number of people who have nearly hit me HARD by blowing off stopsigns while mindlessly and illegally talking on their cell phones. It’s the single biggest factor in the near misses I’ve ever had.

That being said, he should have had her buckled in. I won’t put the vehicle in gear unless everyone is buckled in.
