Very curious to see how this story is going to be covered.

Have to wait for more details, but I have to think Boeheim did nothing wrong and this could have happened to anyone. This wasn't on some pedestrian street with someone in a crosswalk. This happened on an interstate, Boeheim was behind another car that was approaching the car that had crashed and likely couldn't see what was going on or the people who were outside the vehicle in the road. He passed all sobriety tests. Sad situation for all involved, would be hard to live with that even knowing you didn't really do anything wrong.
Terrible accident. Agree with all....but I will say this, I am continually amazed at how many people don't bother to slow down, possibly stop, or even move over for disabled vehicles on the shoulder or partially obstructing a lane.
On the other side of that, I'm continually amazed at how many people will get out of their car and walk around or change a tire on the shoulder of interstates or highways. It's Russian roulette.
Stay in your car, call AAA or roadside assistance. I can change a tire like a pit boss....but I'll be damned if I'm doing it on the side of the road.
I don't know Jim Boeheim & I certainly didnt know the deceased but I do know it is not a question of "right or wrong", it is a question of "negligence". Without knowing all the facts it is hard for anyone to say he was or wasnt negligent. I do feel sorry for him & the family of the deceased for what they are going through.Have to wait for more details, but I have to think Boeheim did nothing wrong and this could have happened to anyone.

I think negligence would fall under the "wrong" category. I hate these stories, I don't think it should be spread as nationwide news unless it was found that he was driving under the influence or was found to be negligent. According to reports the car crashed and ended up in the middle of the road, the occupants got out and failed to get out of the road. Boeheim was following a car that was approaching the crash so Boeheim likely couldn't see what was ahead of him due to the car in front of him and it being midnight. The District Attorney has already come out and said that it's not expected that he'll face any legal ramifications.I don't know Jim Boeheim & I certainly didnt know the deceased but I do know it is not a question of "right or wrong", it is a question of "negligence".

Unfortunately, negligence doesnt fall under the "wrong" category. He can be negligent if it is determined that he was following the car in front of him too closely. It can be deemed negligent if determined that he was going too fast for conditions even if driving under the posted speed limit. The legal ramifications mentioned only apply to criminal charges. Cant really tell if there is any negligence until the accident reconstructionist finishes his investigation.I think negligence would fall under the "wrong" category.
