idiocy... sometimes and accident is just an accident.
cite him for allowing her to drive, but geez...they didnt mean to kill anyone
Incorrect frame of mind here.
With vehicles, there are no accidents; someone is always negligent.
What was part of the role of the father for being in the vehicle other than for instruction? Control.
The 1999 Grand Marque has an automatic transmission with either a column shift select or an option for console select. The prudent person instructing would have either changed the transmission selection of gear (neutral, reverse, park in that order of select) or turned the ignition off. That was his job!

Would you say the same if the driver had a .08 BAC?
but they broke the law... if they had followed the law, this would not have happened...
