I live about 5 miles form this accident. I was home that morning, there was no fog and no rain. It was a clear summer morning. What was this boy doing that her drove right in to the rear of this buggy? All of us that live near the Amish know they are on the roads, we should ALL take care no to get to close to the buggy or the horse. It seems to me that this needs to be looked into more by the police and charges should be brought againist this reckless driver. If he would have hit a car it would be a different story. If we see signs along the road to "share with bikes" we all need to "share with buggies"

If I use device "X" and by total freak accident I kill a person with "X" I go to jail and society doesn't even question it.

Now on the other hand if I use device "Y" and by total freak accident I kill a person with "Y" I get to go home and never even face charges.

Sounds crazy and illogical right but it happens all the time.

"X" is gun and "Y" is a car.

The driver killed one person and critically injured two others. That hardly falls under the category of "oops I didn't see them" at 7am, in full daylight.

The driver wasn't paying attention and killed someone. If had hit a car and done this he would have been charged with vehicular manslaughter.

it's not a crime today to do a whole bunch of awful things. and it wasn't a crime back in the day to do even worse things. and it used to be illegal to do all sorts of good things. and then people got together and said, 'enough!'

you can defend people who maim and kill as long as you like. you can threaten them with citations. you can do all that, but i'm gonna call it as i see it -- i want justice.

thanks so much for your kind words, 'anonymouse'.
