This is such a sad story. With all the road work going on it gets confusing on where to go. This is someone who wasn't on drugs or alcohol. Sounds like he in no way shape or form is a criminal and will suffer for the rest of his life after something this tragic. I feel bad for both families.

I think the "angle" that this driver is from Australia where they drive on the left side of the road is the problematic implication.

I agree with Colleen Anderson. I expect he may end up pleading guilty to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.

The comment by the Lorrain Rucker is absolutely correct. I suggest the Almanac, and any other news agency, check the facts, which can be easily obtained from the CHP or CalTrans, which have jurisdiction over Highway 84. The lane closure is of the westbound lane, not the eastbound lane, as has been erroneously reported. Drivers heading eastbound do not change lanes when passing through this road closure, so this driver did not do so, unless he was already in the wrong lane when he arrived at the lane closure.
