This crash reminds me a lot of the one that is in trial right now in NC.
Chandler Kania, 20 at the time of the crash in 2015 was extremely drunk, high, got into a verbal fight with a fellow fraternity brother and, despite several friends trying to physically stop him, he got in his jeep, ended up driving the wrong way on the Interstate at speeds in excess of 80mph, and crashed head on into a vehicle carrying 2 women and 2 young children. All but one child died. It's horrific.
He of course suffered some broken bones but nothing serious.
He's being tried for 2nd degree murder and is on trial. He plead guilty to felony homicide by vehicle right before the trial started. So the trial is essentially about "intent," which is what has to be determined to be convicted of 2nd degree murder.
The trial is happening in Orange County, as the accident occurred near Chapel Hill, NC.
