No Criminal Charges for Cab Driver Who Plowed into Crowd at Stingaree

By Aline Miranda on May 9, 2011

The AP and Huffington Post report there will be no criminal charges filed against the taxi driver who plowed into a crowd outside Stingaree nightclub on Feb. 12, despite injuring 35 people. SDPD says there is insufficient evidence to charge the 52-year-old driver.

Police have not determined what caused the crash, but think it’s likely the driver fell asleep at the wheel. The Sheriff’s Department has suspended the driver’s taxi license.

Those injured face an uphill battle getting their medical bills paid. In many of the cab-related injury cases I’ve handled over the years, cab companies tend to maintain the lowest level of insurance permitted by California law — $15,000 per person, up to $30,000 per accident.
