Depends. You'd have to prove intent negligence . What if the driver because of the shape and angel of the vehicle cannot see you? And if they are trained to keep track of multiple things the more they have to multi task the more they have to prioritize. You are oversimplifying it.
And even in this case, if someone caused the accident that is what sets everything in motion in the first place.
In this case with these truck drivers I can understand where their focus was. You are driving towards a potential bomb on fire. You are also going to be thinking more about someone who might still be in it, after seeing others responders on the ground. It wouldn't be unreasonable to asses that the victims on the ground are being attended to.
I don't see this as a deliberate mistake or even bad training as much as it simply was a bad combo of reality playing out. By comparison however, the airline DID NOT have sufficient protocol to override the stupid predilections of the pilots. Sue the fucking airline.
I can oversimplify examples too. Are there times when cops wrongfully shoot someone? Yes. But can a b b gun or toy replica look like a real one? Does an officer always have time to take their time in assessing a danger?
I think these guys who ran over her simply did not see her and considering what was going on as unfortunate as it was, are not to blame. It was bad luck, not bad training.

We'be seen similar activity from the SFPD.
They're both corrupt.
Why is it the public sector is always corrupt and not the private sector? Maybe if the airline wasn't so fucking bent on cheap labor and had spent more money on training those pilots wouldn't have crashed the damned plane.
It is easy to blame public employees but if you are going to do that, then don't call them when you need help.
Same fucking shit bothers me about "on time" advertising with airlines. These things are not cars you can pull over when you get a flat tire. I don't give one rats ass about "On time" compared to mechanical safety, pilot training and weather conditions.
