    They confirmed there were no open recalls on the 2018 GMC Acadia involved in the incident.

    Despite what they describe as “extensive efforts,” detectives and prosecutors from King County and Seattle were unable to identify any applicable criminal charges.

    Fucking despicable. How bout manslaughter? If it isn’t a car issue then it’s negligence. Not putting on parking brake while leaving the car that get someone killed deserved a manslaughter charge.

      Of you want to kill someone, just use a car and say it was an accident. All will be forgiven as long as you weren’t road raging or drinking beforehand.

    The number of drivers that call the parking brake the “emergency brake” is appalling. My mother was one, and I hear it on a fairly regular basis. Bad driver training.
