The question here is there Galuth for the one that killed unintentionally, if he is a Cohen, can do Nethiath Capaim?

Most opinions say that a car accident doesn’t disqualify the Cohen

yesterday was the Siyum Mesecheth Makoth
that deals with the topic and concludes with the Nechomo of Binyam Hamjkdash

Correction: Amitai was not a classmate of the driver who ran him over. The driver told police that he had been distracted briefly with something in the car and had not realized that his car had drifted to the shoulder where Amitai was struck.

The Rav of our shul who spoke at the funeral talks about holding a steering wheel as the same thing as holding a loaded weapon. Probably a good idea for everyone to be more completely focused on driving when we’re holding the wheel.

Very sad story…
Btw Israel doesn’t have the death penalty except for Nazi war crimes so no matter what the case was he wouldn’t get the death penalty.
