From the info here, it sounds like the other driver made a major driving mistake with disastrous consequences, but without intent, intoxication, or aggravating factors of gross negligence or recklessness such as excessive speed, street racing, etc. That type of thing can happen to anyone due to a momentary inattention, distraction, or just simple misjudgment.C-dub wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2024 3:43 pmLike many, I'm sure, I'm still trying to comprehend why there were no charges.

Kevin was not at fault in this accident. He was proceeding straight on a green light.
The other driver was at fault when he made his left turn without failing to yield.
Kevin happened to be driving his older Ford Focus that day, while the other man was driving a Ford Expedition. The difference in the 2 vehicle's weight was substantial.
If Kevin had been driving his Ford F250 Super Duty Tremor with a lift kit, he might have survived. But that's not how it went down. The smallest decisions one makes can make a huge difference.
RIP brother.

I understand the natural reaction to want to punish someone for causing something so tragic, but in a case like this it's just not a crime.
