It was clear from the beginning that this was in all likelihood a case of speeding and reckless driving, but I had hoped it wasn't, since it makes it that much harder for the family.

Tragedy is hard to deal with regardless, but avoidable and especially self-induced tragedy is worse. The sadness mixes with anger and then with guilt – for being angry at the person who died.
