Police tried to catch the suspects in the heavy traffic, unable to get the license plate from the truck. But only two minutes later it was too late. The truck slammed into three other cars near Dix-Toledo and Allen Road, killing Cutting.

He said there are circumstances that would have allowed for her to be charged despite the fact that she was not the driver, but the situation did not meet those standards.
