I suspect if the driver was impaired or negligent she will not get the usual slap on the wrist. One can always hope.
Don't get your hopes up. About 10 years ago a popular 43-year-old deputy DA and mother of two died from injuries sustained when she was out jogging and an 18-year-old kid fell asleep at the wheel, crossed the centerline, and pnned her to against a tree. The kid had been up all night for a grad night party and was obviously in no condition to drive himself home. No fine, no penalty ...
