Remarkably, a new case from January.

  1. 29 January 2023 Glade County FL, 4 killed (vehicular homicide/DWI) (Man arrested for Glades County crash that killed unborn child and 3 others - NBC2 News) The dead include an unborn child.

In this incident, one of the dead was unborn. I am unclear on Florida law, but I have included it under the “presumption to publish” rule.

Then the two most recent killings call for an editorial decision. I included the first and marked the second as “pending.”

  1. 24 June 2023 Downey CA, 4* killed (vehicular homicide) (3 Camp Pendleton Marines among 4 people killed in weekend crash on the 5 Freeway in Downey – Press Telegram) speeding four Marines on a weekend night makes me suspect DWI

pp) 26/27 June 2023 Fort Myers FL, 5 killed (reckless driving) (Fort Myers crash: 5 teens killed in car submerged near Topgolf) no word on intoxication, but the group was returning from work. This makes me mark this one “pending.”
