Fred can correct me if I am wrong, but that's basically the difference between negligence and gross negligence. Was it an accident or the result of a disregard for others?

From what some reports had said, police sources said that it was more of a freak accident that a double read ending resulted in one car going at an angle into oncoming traffic. There were 3 drivers (1st driver, 2nd middle driver (deceased), 3rd-Jenner). Driver 1 came to a stop in the middle of the road and Driver 2 came to a stop in order to avoid rear ending them. Jenner then rear ended driver 2 which caused driver 2 to get pushed into the oncoming SUV. 


I've been in a similar situation. I was driving on the interstate and there was some debris in my lane blocking it, so I had to quickly get over. As soon as I did, the car in front of me came to a complete stop (don't know why, it was 9pm so the highway was empty). I slammed on my brakes and skid into them. The difference was that they were an SUV and I was in a sedan. They looked back at me, saw my car was totaled and sped off. Had it been my Jeep and them in a smaller car, I might have pushed them into the other lane.
