    He was charged with two counts of failure to yield in a motor vehicle and failure to exercise due care.

    Minor traffic offenses for hitting two people, killing one of them.

    Cars are the only weapons where you have near immunity to consequences.

    But let’s ban 25lb e-scooters and ebikes that go around the same speed as a human runner. 😒
