At an intersection, a motorist’s car struck the car of a mother who was driving her teenage son to school. The mother was killed in the collision. The mother’s estate brought a wrongful death action against the motorist on behalf of the mother’s son and daughter, her sole heirs. At trial, evidence introduced by the estate established that the motorist drove through a red light at the intersection. Evidence introduced by the motorist showed that the son was showing his mother a video on his phone just before the collision occurred. May the evidence introduced by the motorist be used against the estate?
