But what procedure are you imagining, exactly? Grilling her until she confesses to something? There was no indication of any crime, just a tragic accident.

But unless she intentionally hit the child it was an accident on her part. I'm referring to a specific incident, not crashes in general. I thought that would be abundantly clear from the context. I certainly doubt she foresaw or planned on hitting a child.

A crash isn't intentional either. Meriam Webster has the following definition for crash:
"to fall, land, or hit with destructive force"
To me that is more accurate.
