"There's no indication that she was negligent or drunk..."
"Edit: ...And don't tell me that 6mph over the limit is negligent. If it is, you're all extremely reckless."
Uh, negligent is running over kids on bicycles... not one kid, not two kids, but three kids, out of three kids riding their bikes were hit. Negligent was incorrectly assuming she had the road all to herself; probably because it was the wee morning hours... after all, there shouldn't be any kids out riding bikes, or animals running around at that hour; bad assumption-- always pay attention while driving, or don't drive. And if you can't pay attention, for any reason, don't drive. 6mph in and of itself doesn't speak to much; hitting three kids from behind while driving an SUV speaks volumes.
I don't know if she was drunk; but she was negligent.
The lawsuits ought to settle, a trial does not bode well.
