This Was Suicide, Not "Accident"

May God have mercy on the souls of the innocent and may He comfort their family.

That said:  the driver here was committing suicide and homicide.

The Hyundai Elantra carrying a family of five appeared to be traveling faster than 70 miles per hour Friday when the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to hit a tree and split in half, according to reports released by the Milwaukee Country Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday.

Four of the five occupants, including a 5-month-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, were killed. A 1-year-old girl was in stable condition and expected to survive. 

Police say the driver, Larry G. Williams Jr., 29, had just gone through a yellow light at high speed about 8:15 p.m. when the car spun and hit a tree on West Townsend Street near North 26th Street. ...

Seventy miles/hour on a city street is suicide-driving, period.
