It wasn't intentional, but it was negligent.

A similar thing happened in the Seattle area...  But, it was a guy that didn't tie down his load.  A sheet of plywood came flying off and went through the windshield of the car behind him, killing the driver.

He just kept on driving and didn't say anything for weeks while the it was all over the news that they were looking for him...

They eventually caught his ass and tossed him in prison for a few years.

I'm with Scratch on this. Its not the same as someone who's talking on a cellphone and not watching traffic. But a lot of negligent drivers have gotten away with killing motorcyclists.

Damn.

He deserves to go to federal "take it in the butt" prison for that.

Of course I'm not very compassionate though, except....

TO THE FREAKING DEAD LADY THAT HE KILLED.

I think I need a nap.
