I've just been blindsided (pun intended) by the arrival of the movie, "Stuck", based on a grisly real-life incident in Texas. From Yahoo's review:
"Stuck" is based on a true story, too, which makes it even more riveting to see these events unfold on screen. It's inspired by a fatal 2001 car crash in Fort Worth, Texas, that earned the driver, Chante Mallard, a 50-year prison sentence. But this is no prime-time TV re-enactment, full of glossy lighting and stylish edits; Gordon and co-writer John Strysik strip the accident down to expose the ugliest elements of human behavior.

I remember reading about the incident and being literally stunned by it. Shocked, even. It wouldn't have been my first choice for film adaptation material but, from the sound of it, the filmmakers are taking the subject in interesting directions. Hopefully, no hobos were hurt during the making of the movie.
