They were all 19 at the time, coming back from the beach and (my guess only) may have had a little to drink. Very sad. But --- the passenger friend sued the driver over this accident. That is also sad.

Pelletier, as a fellow passenger, had a personal responsibility to ensure his own safety, and should have been acting to stop Berman.
