Driver Kills Cyclist, Wants Damages

After Tomas Delgado ran down a 17 year old cyclist, his insurance company paid the kid’s parents 50 grand, citing that their client had been driving too fast for conditions, and might have avoiding killing the youth. But while a decent person would be racked by guilt—and a less decent person would just thank the stars he wasn’t in jail—Delgado’s next step was to sue the victim’s family over the damage he inflicted on his Audi A8 while killing their son. He’s asking for 20 grand to cover fixing his car, and an
additional nine grand for the cost of renting one while his murder
mobile was being repaired. This is an actual quote from the piece of garbage: "I’m also a victim in all of this, you can’t fix the lad’s problems, but you can fix mine." What an asshole. Here’s hoping local authorities throw him into the slammer. Then he won’t need a car. Problem solved.
