This is going to be a question of who had the greater degree of negligence/fault. The Z for speeding and on phone or the deceased in the van who failed to notice the speeding Z. The Z did have the right of way. Tough call although the video does clearly show the Z swerving to the left when she should have swerved to the right (where the van was not at.) This case will probably never make it to a jury since the sympathy factor for the deceased mother of three would make the Z's drivers case pretty hard to defend. Hope she had sufficient insurance limits.
