'The family of the victim has since sued the alleged driver.'

Sorry, but this is getting ridiculous. You can't be accused of driving. It's not 'alleged.'

    It is though. Yes there was a driver, yes they maybe the driver but in a court you have to prove they were the driver. Yeah it might be as easy as "they were in driver seat of the accident scene". But let's say evidence is only they were seen on a traffic camera 15 minute earlier, well they could of swapped seats or they could of been dropped off somewhere. You nor I don't know the answers to these questions and we shouldn't speculate, it should be proven in court.
