So the driver is going to be charged with manslaughter, right? Right? 😧
A similar thing happened here in Seattle. A police officer, who had been fired from another department for reckless driving, decided it would be a good idea to go over 70 mph downtown without his siren on to get to a scene (an OD). Kevin Dave hit a 26 year old woman crossing the street and killed her. The police oversight board recommended he be fired. SPD and the union disagreed and gave him no punishment. Hell, they even joked about it. The city attorney fined him $5000 which he is delinquent on.

One of those big fucking trucks with poor visibility. Driven with over confidence.
Yeah and it seems obvious that they shouldn’t be driving vehicles where people are laying. This is the third person I’ve heard of being run over by police on a beach this summer.
At most, something like a golf cart or ATV. Not a full size pickup with the windows up and AC blasting, both of which disconnect you from the environment.
“just am unfortunate accident.” How do you not see people on the beach?
It sounds like she was laying down and the truck parked on her. Really makes you wonder why a truck is allowed on a beach.
On those beaches, the drivable beach access spots have cones and signs telling people to stay out. It’s an emergency vehicle access area for the police, fire, EMS, and life guards. I have no idea if she was in that area or not, but I have seen people laying in those areas.
Understood from reading, but he should have seen something from a distance. Did he forget? Not care? Was looking at something else? Hard agree with no trucks on the beach. An ATV or some sort is sufficient.
