Ouch. Sorry to hear that bro.

There was a kid in one of my classes last spring who smashed into the back of a slower car on the freeway. The car spun out, flipped, and killed the driver. He was jailed and charged w/ negligent homicide, but his sentencing is still in the works (I think he's out on bail right now).

People charged with negligent homicide can get 0 to life depending on severity. I've seen people get both sides of that range.

yeah i'm really sorry to hear that. sorry i don't know anything of the consequences though. i heard one of those stories in drivers ed and it's always made me pay a little extra attention at intersections.
