Scene of the Accident
Commentary:
Looking at this accident strictly from a legal perspective, if the car was speeding, what fault with the passenger in the car bear? Well, unless they reached over the center console and grabbed a hold of the wheel, then probably none. When a driver elects to take on a passenger, they enter into an understood, unspoken contract with the passenger that says they will not drive in a manner that will get them hurt. If the driver was speeding for whatever reason and crashed the car, the driver of the car has more than likely breached the contract with the passenger. Unless there is some massive detail missing or omitted from the news reports, the driver of the car is probably going to be liable for the accident.
