The passenger of Tate’s car, 17 year old Laura Kubiak survived the crash despite the van resting on top of the car after the incident.
Bolden was charged with DUI but the charges may be upgraded to felony charges. The family of Marlon Tate may be able to file a claim on behalf of Tate for his wrongful death. Kubiak may also be able to file a claim against Bolden for her injuries. Kubiak and the family of Tate should contact an attorney to find out their legal rights.
