spath - // if you read the OP, it is slating the BBCPB...
And highlighting how sad it is for both parties.
If this WAS a stage for argument, none would be there to had because views are clearly stated. Nothing to argue...
The OP is highlighting the two possible views //
I have read your assessemt of the OP, and find myself in disagreement - Canary finds it 'desperately desperately sad for both victims' - whereas in fact, only one is a 'victim' in the true sense of the word.
The teenager knocked down is an innocent victim of irresponsible behaviour, the driver has died for reasons not specified, and therefore cannot be a 'victim' in that sense.
Add to the fact that the teenager is not dead, and the driver is dead, and you lose what remaining tenuous link there may have ever been made between them.
As I said, the Op falls down because the premise on which is it based is factually inaccurate.
