How Did This Accident Occur?

Most people who read about a single-car crash like this probably would assume it was caused by a driver who was distracted, fatigued or even impaired. But assumptions are not a good foundation for figuring out how an accident happened. Facts are much preferred, in my experience.

The best way to get the facts needed to figure out what happened on the frontage road for Pasadena Freeway is wait until a full investigation is completed. Evidence from the scene, data from the pickup, witness statements, cell phone records and any available video of the crash will yield the facts needed to piece together how this accident happened. A qualified expert likely will be needed to examine the vehicle if investigator suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this crash because in my experience law enforcement agencies lack the time or training for such exams.
