Tragic Accident On Venice Beach

Monday was a sad day on Venice Beach in the Los Angeles, CA. area.  Sadness arose when a driver Nathan Campbell, drove into a crowd of people on Venice Beach's board walk; killing 1 and injuring 11.  Witnesses say Campbell was driving erratically in the area after leaving a local area café. Campbell abandoned the car he driving; a Dodge Avenger several blocks away, and walked to a local police station to report the accident. No reports of alcohol were mentioned in the reports of the story or by witnesses. Police describe Campbell as a transient from the Colorado area, who has no tides to California and was probably unfamiliar with the area. Alice Grupponi, who was only 32; an Italian tourist, was visiting the Venice Beach area on her honeymoon was killed. Police arrested Campbell even after finding a local police station to report the accident. Conflicting stories say Campbell lost control of the vehicle before the accident occurred, while others say he was driving deliberately erratically. No motive for murder has been determined; however bail for Campbell has been set for 1 million dollars. It is truly sad that a woman was struck down so early at age 32 while on vacation, however calling this unfortunate accident deliberate murder with no motive of a driver, in an unfamiliar area seems like a stretch to me. If Campbell were driving on Mulholland Drive in the Holly Wood Hills and lost control of a vehicle in an unfamiliar area people would understand, as several people born and raised in California don't drive in the Hills. I'm  sympathetic to the driver, for going to the police station and not avoiding police; and because California driving can be very dangerous in various area's with the number of cliffs and even high terrain areas. I once worked for a corporation in California and chose to never drive myself; I relied on cabs, car services, and co-workers to get around. If Campbell is guilty of deliberately killing 1 and injuring 11, well fine throw the book at him, if not show him some mercy.  Think about a time when you yourself, had to drive in an unfamiliar area.   Please feel free to post your comments.
