But she wasn't the driver and it seems that they are trying switch responsibility . Like the young guy that was killed by a VKS and was let go without any testing of him. Sucks and very sad indeed .

It is the Dutch initials for Voluntary Corps St Maarten. In Dutch the official name is Vrijwilligers Korps Sint Maarten, hence VKS.

Glad that the lady who apparently contributed to the accident by crossing in front of the car has come forward.
