It's all fun and games until someone starts a bonfire in the living room.

I didn't know there was such a charge.  Sounds like something from a
Woody Allen movie: Diane Keaton or Mia Farrow or whoever: You ran over
someone?!?  Woody: Yes, but I told the police it was an accident, so
they said it was only a misdemeanor.

See section 192 of the penal code at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/
waisgate?WAISdocID=2056395097+5+0+0&WAISaction=retrieve
(Watch for wrapping of that line, search for the section if it doesn't
work.)

It's a bit iffy, proximate cause, when you rear-end someone and they
hit
someone else and yet someone else t-bones them and they die from
that.
No malice aforethought, no drunken binge, no wrong-way on the
freeway, just an f-up starting a chain of events.
