I was the driver of a car when an accident happened. The passenger was out of state and did not have permission from their probation officer to leave the state. Can I still be sued for their injuries? Is being "awol" considered a crime?

Anyone can be sued for anything...winning is another matter. Make it clear to your passenger that the consequences for their litigation is certain incarceration. Then contact his PO anyway!
Next time keep your eye on the roan, and choose better travel mates.

First, you can sue. Second, it could cause you to go back to jail for violating probation. Thrid, yes, being awol is considered a crime. Best advice, contact your probation officer. Get back to where you are supposed to be!

if you were at fault in the wrech you can be sued. his legal status of being in or out of state has no issue on this.
Of course his PO will find out and get invovled I am sure
