I don't understand how they're not pressing charges when the driver's lack of attention killed somebody. Even if there's no requirement to slow down at flashing yellow lights it's still illegal to kill someone, we have manslaughter charges specifically for this type of accidental death. I don't get how the driver is exempt from this, the driver is responsible controlling their car after all.

American culture values cars (and guns) more than the lives of people, even children.
