Finally, a very small sliver of justice for John Corcoran, the 62 year-old who was biking home on a bike path, and who was killed 2 years ago when this driver who was speeding and most likely distracted drove off the road.

"The defendant deprived my family of a man who wanted nothing more than to be part of their lives – our lives," said Jack Corcoran, the victim's son.

Yet another visitor to the US completely and tragically failed by our roads, our drivers, and the size of our cars. This man from Norway was trying to accomplish something really cool, but was killed by a woman driving a large SUV. He made it from NY to Kansas. The driver left the scene. People survive living in war-torn countries, just to come to the US and be violently killed by people driving. . .. . ENOUGH.

The 24-year-old man had been traveling cross-country from New York to Los Angeles after starting out in August.

Billie Eilish you understand. There can often be a very thin veil between those who survive a car crash, and those who don't.
