What kind of human garbage would leave a person to die and keep on driving an ATV? This is a 23 year old adult with no defense for his actions other than to try and save his own pathetic *** from charges. I hope he was charged with vehicular homicide. This is another case where filing a lawsuit seems to be the natural reaction. While I can't blame them for their anger at the idiot who essentially murdered their daughter, I am getting increasingly cyncial about filing a suit for damages. Granted, they should be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses. But to profit from the death doesn't seem right. Everybody claims "you can't put a price on the loss of my loved one..." but that's precisely what people do. Like getting a check is going to make everything OK. It doesn't punish the wrongdoer and it does nothing for the deceased. There needs to be a better resolution. (I'll bet the bleeding hearts and the personal injury attorneys won't like this post).
