No an accident like this is not murder, but it is manslaughter, and there should be VERY serious consequences so people will get the point that you need to pay attention when you drive. In general there are no accidents, there are stupid, careless, distracted people that are not focused on what they are doing and ruin someone's life because they don't have the good sense to focus when life is on the line. I am sick and tired of idiot drivers not looking where they're going, texting, talking on a cell phone, fucking with the stereo, rushing cause they're late, or doing a million other things besides driving, then hitting someone and saying "oh it's not my fault, it was an accident!". Well fuck you, it was no accident, you weren't fucking paying attention, take responsibility for your actions and if you can't focus with laser like precision when driving, stay off the fucking road.
