The lawyer for David Halberstam’s widow says UC Berkeley journalism graduate student Kevin Jones was reckless and negligent in causing an April 23 crash in Menlo Park that killed the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist, the Chronicle reports. Jones, 26, was turning left from Bayfront Expressway to Willow Road when his car, carrying Halberstam, was hit by an Infiniti Q30 that was headed the opposite way on the expressway. The Infiniti driver says he had the green light. Lawyer Martin Garbus said he’s blaming Jones because “of the way the crash happened,” but he wouldn’t elaborate. Police have sent the case to prosecutors without recommending charges against anyone. Garbus isn’t saying whether he’ll sue on the widow’s behalf. [April 23, Car crash kills Halberstam]
