Car plows into crowd outside Espanyol vs. Barcelona, injuring 13 people; police call it an accident

"Accident".

"Accidents" of mass destruction shouldn't be downplayed because a car was involved.

And when police call it an "accident" they've already concluded that this couldn't be avoided, despite the fact that nearly every vehicle on pedestrian crash is preventable.

Again...?

Assault with a deadly weapon, life in prison.

Assault requires intent. This was apparently unintentional. There were no serious injuries, so you can't even howl for manslaughter charges. Sorry? Can't help but feel you will take this as a disappointment.

Gotta check the driver's skin color first

I started calling them “potentially fatal car crashes”. Even the “small” ones… us humans are delicate.
