Dear Client,
In a road accident resulting in death, liability depends on who was driving and whether there was rash or negligent driving, so if your wife was not the rider, she generally won’t face criminal liability, and even if she was driving, a case would only arise if negligence is established through investigation, not merely because an accident happened.
