Maybe they aren’t going to charge him or the 4Runner driver.

Exactly right. It's obvious from the accident description and pictures.

The repeated attempts here to deflect blame away from the teen driver and onto the Toyota driver are disgusting. And yammering that "it's obvious from the accident description and pictures" means less than nothing unless you are an accident investigator who has had access to ALL the images and data and the scene itself. Are you? Nope. Wait for the real investigators to do their jobs.

And you both want to ignore the fact, brought up repeatedly earlier in the thread with the specific law cited, that excessive speed negates certain rights of way. The teen driver's excessive speed (exact speed still be be proven but witnesses clearly said it was extreme) is very possibly going to negate any right of way violation the Toyota driver might have committed. But the investigation, not your speculation or mine, will determine that.

+100. Disgusting.

+1 One can be open-minded and believe in witholding judgement, yet still be able to rule out "4runner driver shares fault" as a legitimate opinion.

That is the exact *opposite* of open-minded and withholding judgment.

No, you're just too dumb to realize it.

I guess the Oakton high schoolers are on DCUM now. Sorry you lost a friend. When you are older you will see that the Toyota also made an error.

It wasn’t a school zone and the speed limit isn’t 20.

Ok then I guess my original thought of this being a tragic accident stands. I thought it was a case of those poor kids being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I just thought about how when I was a new driver turning, it was my fault even though I didn’t see the other car coming and that other car was the speeding one.

I live in a high traffic area. People sometimes honk at me for not turning fast enough. If the gap is small and a car is coming at me at 40-50mph, I am not turning. However, I see accidents all the time where a turning car is hit by another car. This happens all the time except no unfortunate pedestrian is struck.

I will just wait until the investigation is complete.

You are more of a danger to other drivers than people speeding.

Don’t pull out in front of other cars.

There are so many terrible drivers in this area.

They may be negotiating a plea agreement in lieu of indictment.

Once you've made it beyond high school, maybe you'll realize that the deaths of innocents isn't the right subject for trolling.

Tell that to the jerks who are name calling and posting ridiculous crap and trying to say that the Toyota did nothing wrong.

I'm well beyond high school - I really did mean that you're being dumb. Ruling out the obvious based on known facts is fully consistent with being open-minded and not rushing to judgment. In fact, using one's mind and good taste is expected in this kind of situation.

The Toyota driver did nothing wrong, and you are dumb. That's not name-calling, that's obvious.

DP. You don’t know that the Toyota driver did anything wrong. The only information that has been released by law enforcement so far as to fault is that the BMW was traveling at an excessive speed.

Name calling? Definitely good taste.

Ruling out scenarios that are very likely and supported by facts is not “open minded” at all.

They also said the Toyota started turning again after the girls crossed. And we can see the location of damage on the two cars and final resting spots.

Nobody's name-calling you. They're just calling a duck a duck. I'm not aware of any reasonable scenarios where the speed of the BMW doesn't absolve the 4runner of fault.

That doesn’t mean the Toyota did anything wrong. If the BMW was not yet visible due to the turn/curve when the Toyota started its turn, then the driver did nothing wrong.

It actually hasn’t even been two weeks. Let the police do their work.

“Absolve”. So the Toyota did do something wrong. Thank you.
