"During this 995 feet, 10 persons were killed and 63 injured. If Mr. Weller had placed his foot on the brake while traveling westbound on Arizona Avenue through the Farmers' Market street fair, the Buick would have stopped," the CHP report said.
And while fleeing the scene of an accident... (a felony in California). The old man should fry just like any young kid or minority would.

"Weller was taking prescription medication that causes nausea and dizziness,"
Isn't that DUI ??
Take the keys forever, lock him up forever for 10 counts of manslaughter and 63 counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

Weller was taking prescription medication that causes nausea and dizziness, and may have pressed the gas instead of the brake because he had hip replacements that reduced his mobility, the report said, noting that there was no evidence Weller was unconscious or had a seizure. No friggin way to you accidently step on the gas instead of the brake for almost 1000 feet! Fleeing the scene of an accident, driving while under the influence of prescription medicine, 10 murders... what a sweet old man.

Seconded!
Let's make him the AARP Poster Child; that just because you are older, you are NOT entitled to more rights that the rest of us, and that they MUST re-certify their driving competence on an annual basis!

The only "accident" in this case seems to be the initial crash the old guy was involved in.
It appears that this oldster panicked after the collision and said to himself "I'm in trouble now!" , and decided to flee the scene. He then crashed into the crowd and said to himself "Now I'm REALLY in trouble!", and kept his foot on the gas.
He needs to be held accountable.
