Looks like no criminal charges are going to stick against the brother, Eddie Lynchard; he already beat a charge of negligent service of alcohol. Now the cyclist's family is trying to hold the driver's brother and wife responsible for civil damages. His wife insured the truck in her own name while knowing that her husband (who couldn't get insurance due to past DUI convictions) would be driving it, and also transferred all her husband's assets into her own name to try to protect them from civil suits. Eddie ordered his employees to keep serving his brother when they wanted to cut him off, and had also bought his brother the truck in the first place, after his multiple past DUIs.

Hella nice folks. I hope the civil suit leaves 'em all licking the insides of old cat food cans to survive.
