Making a movie in Europe -- the one with Marlon Brando, I believe -- may be wrong, he was driving drunk and hit a pedestrain, killed the person, and basically got a slap on the hand because of who he was.
It was never proven that he was drunk, but he (Matthew Brodderick) was speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road in Ireland.
He crashed head-on into another car, killing the woman driver (in her sixties) and her mother (in her eighties).
I've never determined why horsehead and her husband were not seriously injured.
