This incident should have been handled by waiting for the police or military to arrest her and drag her off. There is nothing to indicate it required her to be killed for not moving, at that moment. Absent other facts, the driver committed manslaughter or worse.

“manslaughter”: def. The unjustifiable, inexcusable, and intentional killing of a human being without deliberation, premeditation, and malice.
