Companies do NOT care...

I made that comment because it seemed that you were "covering" for the driver a little when he was at fault for the accident. I drive a lot for my job and it never ceases to amaze me the reckless way people will drive with children in the vehicle. looking at the picture tells me that he must have been going pretty fast... I'd love to read the entire article if you have it.

No, they don't, fuck 'em. No the people that ran the company and were forced out by Chrysler certainly deserve a lot of praise for all the stuff they did for employees back in the day.

Yea, I probably was covering a little for him, in the sense that I feel bad for him. We all make mistakes while driving, but few of us ever have to pay so severe a penalty.

I'm not privy to the exact details of the crash, and I've never really quizzed him on what happened. I don't have the whole article. It says he drifted to the shoulder and then over-corrected and spun off the road, I believe there was gravel on the shoulder that made the situation worse. I had heard that he was saying something to one of the boys in the back seat when it happened.

I believe it was just an "honest" mistake, in the sense that he was not intoxicated, he was not speeding or driving recklessly. I think the speed limit on all the roads back there is 50mph...so yea, that's pretty fast to hit a telephone pole.
