With any single-vehicle accident, it’s important to know that investigators have looked into all possible contributing factors. Throughout my career, I’ve seen too many similar accidents where departments treated a wreck like this as a low priority. As a result, officers lacked the time and tools needed to do a proper accident reconstruction. If authorities have been able to address the concerns of the victim and their loved ones, then that would be good to hear. But if there are still unanswered questions here, that wouldn’t be too surprising.
