Thirty-year-old Alexander Maximov crashed into a bus stop in Southern Moscow, Russia, killing five orphan teens (ages 14-18), their guardian Olga Shirshova, and her husband. The incident happend in September after, Maximov admitted, going on a two day drinking binge. And what's even more pathetic is that Maximov had just gotten his license back in March after loosing it in 2010 for another account of drunk driving.
Maximov is now being sued by lawyer Igor Trunov on behalf of the orphanage the children came from. Relatives of Olga are also seeking damages. Trunov said he hoped to collect a total of 73,863,649 rubles and 44 kopeks on behalf of Children's Home No. 7, where the teens lived: 23.86 million rubles to cover expenses incurred in burying the teens and 10 million rubles in moral damages for each of the teens. In total, Maximov is being sued for $2.67 million (US) which is about 84 million rubles.
Police are considering charging Maximov with multiple counts of manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol, which carries a punishment of up to nine years in prison followed by a three-year ban on driving.
Maximov stated that he "should shoot himself for his actions."
