The limitless distribution network of the internet is involved in an odd and tragic story out of California. The accident scene photographs of a young woman killed in a motor vehicle accident on R241 last year found their entry onto the world wide web and gained significant exposure primarily on ‘alternative’ websites.
The California Highway Patrol has admitted that one of its employees was responsible for the leak. The CHP and the victims family have requested that all websites who have posted these images take them offline. I can’t see that going well.
I have seen these photographs in question and like all police film from such trauma they leave nothing to the imagination and I don’t blame the parents of the victim for seeking some form of compensation.
But 20 million bucks?
That’s the number the family’s lawyer is kicking around. The pending lawsuit cites emotional distress, loss of earnings, loss of consortium and seeks punitive damages.
The woman who was killed was driving her fathers Porsche and crashed into toll booths around 100mph.
