Commentary:
I’ve seen a few news sources say that the driver of the offending vehicle was cited for failure to control speed, and driving without a license. If true, was he borrowing the truck from somebody? Did they know he was not licensed to drive a car when they handed over the keys? If the truck was borrowed, and the owner was aware that the driver wasn’t licensed, or had a suspended license, then the owner of the truck could have a claim coming their way for what we in the legal industry call negligent instrument. You wouldn’t put a blind person behind the controls of a helicopter, or hand a child a handgun, so why would somebody give a pickup truck to somebody who was unqualified to drive it?
