How Did This Accident Occur?

A lot of people think that when a driver crashes into an unoccupied vehicle, it has to be the driver in motion that’s automatically at fault. That’s simply not true. Things like distracted driving and general inattention are common, of course. But what if a vehicle was protruding out into the lane of travel? What if it’s a commercial truck parked on a residential road? What if the area has broken street lights that haven’t been replaced for months? There could always be extenuating circumstances, so it’s important to consider alternative possible explanations. Ultimately, the evidence should speak for itself.
