Sister: Teen driver in fatal California crash not at fault
FRESNO, Calif. — A 14-year-old survivor of a deadly car crash in California that was livestreamed on Instagram said she isn’t mad at anyone and doesn’t blame the driver.
Instead, Manuela Seja blamed social media, which she said has taken over people’s lives and is only going to become more prevalent, television station KSEE in Fresno (http://bit.ly/2v2bYRB) reported Monday.
“Honestly, I’m not mad at anybody and I don’t blame anybody,” Seja, who suffered a leg injury, said during an interview with the station. “It’s all affected by social media. That’s what life is now. And it’s going to advance more and more. That what it’s going to be about.”
Authorities say Obdulia Sanchez, 18, was driving the car Friday when it veered onto the shoulder of a road about 75 miles (120.7 kilometres) northwest of Fresno.
