Do the families of the first and second deceased deserve intentional homicide blood money or only accidental homicide blood money, given that the truck driver caused the accident by fleeing and not providing assistance, or was his flight due to fear?

If the truck driver stopped in a prohibited place, he is liable for the damages due to his transgression. However, if he stopped in an authorized place, the liability rests with the owner of the car that collided with him. In both cases, the liability is considered an error. The driver's escape and failure to assist necessitate liability according to those who consider inaction an act. In such cases, one must refer to the courts.
