2 Teens Stab Cabbie, Then Die in Crash April 8, 2008, 7:25 PM PDT Two teenage girls died Tuesday when the taxi cab they were riding in crashed after one teen slashed the driver's face, police said. The 50-year-old driver was taken to a local hospital and released after receiving treatment for minor injuries including cuts to his neck and face, Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman Officer April Harding said. His name was not immediately released. Two 17-year-old girls flagged down the cab at about 12:30 a.m. in the eastern Los Angeles neighborhood of Boyle Heights and asked to be taken to the nearby Ramona Gardens housing project, police said. The girls were Alexous Ann Sandoval and Daisy Orozco, both Los Angeles residents, Craig Harvey of the coroner's office said. When they pulled up, one girl said her boyfriend would come down to pay their fare. Instead, he approached the cab with a gun, Harding said. The cab driver apparently sped away with the women still in the back seat. "The cab driver got scared," Harding said. "One of the females pulled out a box cutter and began cutting the taxi cab driver and that's what caused him to crash." It appeared the cab driver believed he was being followed by a gunman, police said. Two men were detained and being questioned about the incident, Harding said. Both girls were thrown from the cab and died. "It is just something bizarre and it is something tragic that happens," Harding said

Didn't the taxi driver have a duty of care to his passengers. Couldn't he be charged with an offence? Svenne

Yes, if they were passengers. Once people start attacking you with weapons during a robbery attempt, then they are clearly are no longer considered passengers. He cannot be charged.

When I first heard the story, I assumed that the taxi driver deliberately crashed the car in self defense. After all, he had an airbag, and they didn't. Wonder if he will ever admit that.

Doesn't matter if he did. His right to self defense trumps any duty to care for his attackers.

No you don't get it. When attacked his duty was to stand there and take it rather than speed off away from the boyfriend with the gun! If the cabbie had allowed the boyfriend to shoot and kill him, or even just allowed the women to cut him up, there wouldn't now be two dead young women in LA! Self-defense against crime only leads to more violence as the death of these two wonderful young ladies shows! :) Hey Svenne, how about you wake up? Even POLICE have no duty to protect any individual! They can choose to help or not according to their mood and not be held responsible if someone is injured or dies. So why would a mere cabbie have some kind of responsibility to "take care" of the two criminal females who were attacking him? What do you want him charged with? Failure to allow criminals to complete their crimes? I nominate these two females for a "Darwin" award! We can only hope they haven't had a chance to reproduce yet, but in that neighborhood we may not have much of a chance in that regard.

Agreed. And I would have deliberately crashed vehicle in those circumstances.

They hadn't paid him so the contract hadn't been concluded and they were still his passengers. He killed them so surely he should be held to account. Svenne

Take your pick: - Since they hadn't yet paid, there was no consideration, hence no contract. - They attempted to 'pay' by offering to relieve him of any funds he was already carrying at gunpoint. By declining this offer, any contract was pretty effectively frustrated, and no duty was owed to the passengers. IANAL, not even an American one, but I reckon at least one of those will hold up just as well as your argument.

English law sucks, and so do you. That's why WE, In the USA, don't follow "English", or other stupid countries like yours, law.

Must be tough living in a retarded COUNTRY, born as a retard(like you) and for not being able to defend your own home, eh? The cabbie didn't kill anybody. He is merely a survivor of a premeditated CRIME gone bad. The two cunts killed themselves when they made their driver lose control by cutting him while operating a moving vehical, and not wearing their seatbelts. Did you see the pictures and video? It was GREAT! The two cunts were SPLATTERED when THEY caused the cabbie to lose control, and they were ejected out of the vehical, ten yards away after the pole almost split the car in two! I am SO happy that they are dead, and that the cabbie is gonna be OK. (Hope he never gets fooled again by that old "My boyfriend will pay later" routine!) I am GLAD that the two cunts are dead, and that their boyfriend is under arrest, and the families of those two whores are grieving. You Europeans are a stump stupid lot, eh?

Sorry, but they engaged in breach of contract when they attacked him. He was contracted to transport them in safety from A to B. They have a contractual obligation to allow him to do so in safety.
He killed them so surely he should be held to account.
Only in Liberaland.

Was it the Herpes you have? I noticed that you ran away from the argument, like the cowardly little RETARD you are. YOU want the cabbie charged for some stupid reason. That proves that you are an idiot! I rejoice in the death of the two retards that died in the commission of a deadly crime. See the diff?

Nothing wrong with me. Why are _you_ saddened by the death of two idiot whores that failed to commit a PREMEDITATED Murder/Robbery?

What's the tragedy? Two armed robbers (at least) killed and the cab driver only with minor injuries. Too bad about the injuries, but overall it's a definite win. -- There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can result in a fully-depreciated one.
