In most cases, drivers who hit individuals who intentionally jump in front of their vehicle are not charged with manslaughter, as the act is considered a suicide rather than a result of reckless driving. Legal outcomes can vary by jurisdiction, but generally, if the driver was not At Fault and had no way to avoid the collision, they may not face criminal charges. However, the situation can be complex, and investigations may consider factors such as the driver's actions leading up to the incident. Ultimately, the specifics of each case determine the legal implications for the driver involved.

If you don't prevent a suicide you could have prevented do you get persecuted?

It would depend on the Country you are from. But in all western Nations. No, you would not be persecuted. It is adequate to say that a person who witnessed a suicide would persecute themselves morally, knowing that perhaps they could've helped. However, if you happen to have been the person to tell them to attempt or push them to attempt suicide then yes. You would be charged with manslaughter in most states and territories.
