Yes, the driver could be charged. Whether or not such a charge is likely, or could result in a successful conviction, will depend upon the full facts and circumstances.
Thanks man.
One more thing.....in regard to mandatory minimum requirements, which in RI are 6 month suspension of license, will that apply if I plead NOLO? Or should I go to trial and try to get a not guilty?
A "nolo contendere" or "no contest" plea is treated by the court as a guilty plea.
