>I think that it’s better to stop victim-blaming. Let's say instead someone gets ripshit drunk and drives the wrong way down a highway in a smartcar. A snowplow runs into them, can't avoid. Kills drunk driver, truck's damaged only slightly. Who's the victim? The trucker's still got to live knowing they killed someone. Has to pay for damage to their truck. Dead person doesn't have to deal with emotional trauma or bills, they're dead. Where cases like this get complicated is whether the driver killing the other driver abandoned their duty of care and contributed to causing the collision. Maybe the trucker was texting, now in some states he'd share some of the burden for this collision.
