Re: Fatal vehicle accidents

The answer depends on whether the person who was the killer had a valid license and whether they were dui at the time of the killing. The answer could also change if the killer drove away.

In Pennsylvania there are about 4 different types of killings under the law, but really many more. But, there is a chance that no charges will be brought.

Also, the victims family could sue.
