Obviously this is a terrible accident, and likely to raise emotions, but I really don't understand the story here. A man accidentally hit and killed pedestrians. A man works for a company. Those two things do not appear to intersect act all. I understand that the work involves him driving a car, but he was not doing that job. It mentions negligence in "hiring", but they never say any thing wrong with the driver's record leading up to this accident. My father has driven a commercial truck for over a decade and had a similar accident this past year while driving his own car on his own time. It was horrible and has been tough to deal with for all involved, but no one has ever been audacious enough to try to say that the company that he works for might be negligent. He has a great driving record, but he had an __accident__. That is all there is to the story unless you are involved personally. This is a tragedy, and unless there are details not being discussed in the article, a terrible accident that two families alone will have to live with and we should but out of.
