The Daily News’ article “LASD Investigation of the Deputy’s Crash That Killed Olin Is Really Lame” posted under the heading, “Automotive Accidents.” Hey, at least the DN is covering it, but some would like to see the term “accident” nixed. http://usa.streetsblog.org/2013/12/11/its-time-for-the-ap-to-nix-the-term-accident-to-describe-car-collisions/
