That was my point. There are legit accidents, that is caused by one or more party not driving/riding/walking etc with perfect care, or like you described.

This is NOT one of those situations. We are all on the same page.

I saw this this morning, that report said 440 was closed for 5 hours to clean up the area and investigate. She should have been made to clean the site. Condolences to the family.

BS.
Sad to say but this happens way too many times for this kind of "accident".

They seem to have thrown the book at her, but I'm sorry to say, I tend to agree this will result in an overly lenient punishment.
In my opinion, driving/riding while intoxicated is a willful disregard for human life.

I'm sure the first words out of the drunk bitch's mouth was: "I didn't see him." I hope she gets a nice long stretch in state prison. It won't bring the motorcyclist back, but it will give her some time to reflect on what she's done, and all the lives it affected.
According to the TV news last night, she talked to a witness, couldn't find the biker, assumed that he'd 'run off somewhere', and left the scene shortly thereafter. He apparently was dying on the adjacent Interstate ramp in the dark.

When ran over at 115mph there is no dying process, nothing short of a miracle your instantly dead.

Sidebar story in the link provided stated that her BOND was increased to $1.1M.
Looks like the authorities are taking this seriously.


Too much crap on many levels associated with losers in the world.

23 yrs old and no personal responsibility? Judging by her stereotypical mug shot, she was raised by absentee parents and as a runaway/HS school dropout, she sought love at 16. An endless string of looser relationships with children culminated with "driving under the influence of drama" charges. Of course she will get probation, who is going to take care of her kids with disappearing fathers?

Amazing observation!

Mug shot mentalist.

Put her children in custody of the state.

If she wasn't worried about them why should anyone else be?
