Commentary:
The news article says that the car the victim was in was turning at the time of the accident, which really makes me wonder how fast the other vehicle was going at the time of the accident. Almost every one of us has had to turn across traffic at some point or another and timed the turn perfectly, only to look in our rear view once we’ve crossed traffic to see we have been narrowly missed by a speeding vehicle. If the driver of the other vehicle was speeding, and the driver could not gauge, the other vehicle could bear the liability in this situation.
