Sounds like vehicular homicide to me as well wreckless endangerment as well. This case of neglect has changed the lives of 2 families.

My hear goes out to the Catyb family during this awful time. So sad that children these days don't think of the aftermath of thier choices.

Deepest sympathies to the Catyb family for this horrible tragedy. The police should have been out looking for his driver as the car she was driving should have been reported stolen the moment she took it. She should never have had access to keys to a vehicle without a license. I blame the parents because these days parents let their kids do anything they want to.
