Commentary:
With any kind of accidents that involve high-school age victims, there is always a lot more emotion and sensitivity surrounding the facts due to the close nature of adolescent relationships, but from a legal perspective, how does this accident look? Well, any driver has a duty to their passengers to drive in a manner that will not leave them, or anybody else on the road injured. If the driver of a vehicle decides to race his sports car, or take his truck off-road, and a fatal accident happens, then the driver of that car failed in their duty to protect their passenger, and could be held liable for the damages in the accident.
