It was a 3 car accident, and the police haven't said she caused it all yet. It was also reported the guy who died wasn't wearing a seat belt, doesn't he get some blame for not wearing one? If he had, he would likely still be here.

Let's play out a scenario.

Let's say the woman driving was drunk, but was in her lane, and somebody changed lanes, didn't see her and hit her car, sent her into another car and then off the road into a tree, killing the guy and injuring the driver, and the guy who hit her and started the crash was sober. Who gets the blame?
