Woman Blamed Fully For Crash ...
http://
am i missing something in this case?
it appears that they are pretty much 100% blaming this woman for the death of these toddlers - but she hit them only because her car was hit by another driver who ran a red light!
it seems the mans pathetic excuses of 'misconstruing the green light' and 'being confused by roadworks' etc, means they seem to think he is practically innocent!
i realise he has since died in unrelated circumstances so cannot be tried in court.
apparently she was on a hands free phone, and was going 36 in a 30 - both of which i agree are technically wrong - (i suspect she sped up momentarily to get through amber light) but had the man not run the red light and shunted her into the kids, there would have been no accident!
Of course she should shoulder some blame but i cant understand why they aren't slamming the mini driver too.
what do you think?

There is a actually a substantial difference between being hit at 30mph and 36.6mph hence why the speed limit is 30 in areas such as these. Bear in mind though 30mph is the speed LIMIT. You should slow down and be aware of hazards at junctions as per the highway code. Yes the mini was also responsible butif it wasn't for both of those drivers poor decisions, breaking the law, driving carelessly and ignoring the highway code those children would not be dead. The BMW driver also had previous speeding convictions. She should have been convicted with 2 counts of causing death by dangerous driving. I think they have been let down by the legal system.
