If they follow the law the state is going to lose the case because they charged the drivers with the wrong offense. Unless they change the charges to vehicular manslaughter and wreckless endangerment I think these guys can legally get off. This does not mean that I think they should at all though. The driver that hit the car definately needs to go to jail for vehicular manslaughter. The other driver should do time to but on a lesser charge. This is assuming of course that he did slow down or attempt to allow the driver of the mustang a way out of hitting the CRV.

The lawsuits are a different story. The families will never get $50 million dollars from either person or from Honda. They will probably get some money from both drivers though. The suit against Honda is bullshit. After a certain point the impact from a collision will destroy any car, no matter how safe the design was. Honda is not responsible for crash testing its vehicles for extremely high speed collisions. No company is. This would make car prices almost unbearable.
