First off, this took place in Malta, so legal concepts of the US don't apply.

Second, you live in California, a comparative fault state. You should know better.


Edit: Also, :facepalm: at the people's comments that they would beat the driver into a pulp. Until there's a full investigation as to the cause of the accident, there's no way you would know, if you were a spectator at the event, who was at fault. Could have a been a manufacturer defect. Heck, someone with a vendetta against the driver could have messed with the steering mechanism. The point is: you just don't know. But yeah, let's just go beat up the driver cuz we're mad. [And yes, I have 2 little kids, and if they were injured, my first instinct would be to call an ambulance, not find someone to punch.]
