Unlucky for being in the US - if he'd done the same here he'd just be looking at a couple of points on his license. If the police could be bothered to prosecute.

Unlike [url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-36482414 ]this guy in Tamworth[/url] who killed somebody because of a "gust of wind", and will have to forego a new telly and take the bus for a bit.

Has manslaughter ever even been mentioned in a UK case like this?

Yeh, absolutely mental. There's a thread here about it; the pics are horrifying.

General point about media reported prosecutions - don't make snap judgements without hearing anything about the case.
