One other thought:
The Ward family is still pursing civil action because they say Stewart sped up and swerved to intimidate Ward.

With at least three different camera angles looked at by the forensic investigators, if that's true, either the DA is completely incompetent or the investigation was botched.

It would be so easy to convince the majority of jurors that at the very least a negligent homicide or vehicular manslaughter occurred if there was evidence that someone in a car intentional swerved toward a person while the car was moving >60mph. It doesn't take a PhD in physics to know that a car at 60 hitting a person can do, at the very least, terrible damage to a person. Anybody driving a car knows that.

I know the Ward family is grieving, but it seems like this would be a slam dunk to indict if someone did what they're saying Stewart did. And, apparently they're the only ones who saw that despite video evidence.
