[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not understand why he isn't charged for manslaughter. Of course this was not intentional, but it still led to a death. The driver needs legal consequences.

From the description of events, it isn't clear he ever saw them or knew he hit them.[/quote]

So he just drove off and ditched his truck for funsies. Sounds very normal and not sociopathic, so par for the course for drivers in this area.[/quote]

Perhaps the driver was an undocumented american, and feared they would be deported for what was basically an accident that was the fault of the cyclist. And it was. Cyclists shouldn’t go zooming past vehicles about to make a right turn on their right side. That’s like Bike-101. Stupid.

But if the driver feared being taken into ICE custody and separated from his family just because a cyclist did something dumb, I can totally understand and forgive them for leaving the scene.  Someone else does something stupid and now YOU get deported? That’s BS. [/quote]
