We should wait for the results of investigation first. It could easily happen the killed person did some bonehead move that resulted in unavoidable crash. I was once told how a friend of mine fatally hit an older man that decided to cross the highway quickly, giving him no chance to react and a life-long trauma.

Calls to wait for facts never stopped the internet outrage machine in the early moments of news release. I doubt it will do much here, sadly. But it's worth pushing back against, even if it won't work IMO.
People will always relish in their biases being confirmed... even after a rare one-off event with a sample size of 1 in a burgeoning industry.
