A grand jury decided today that Stewart will not face charges in the death of Ward Jr.
"toxicology reports revealed that Ward was under the influence of marijuana at a high enough level to impair judgment."
That will play a large role in the civil suite the family basically said is coming in their statement today
"All the other vehicles were reducing speed and not accelerating except for Stewart, who intentionally tried to intimidate Kevin by accelerating and sliding his car toward him, causing the tragedy. The focus should be on the actions of Mr. Stewart. This matter is not at rest and we will pursue all remedies in fairness to Kevin."
What I find a little disheartening is that it seems the Ward family is out for blood. It sounds like a civil lawsuit may be in the works. I understand they lost a family member, but is this not a very dangerous sport with high risk of bodily injury and/or death? If Ward doesn't leave his car, he's still around today to race. End of story.
