How Did This Accident Occur?
I’ve been in this line of business for over thirty years. In that time, I’ve had the chance to analyze hundreds of pedestrian-involved car accidents. Many people, when faced with accidents like this one, can be tempted to blame the victim. But I’ve seen plenty of cases over the years in which evidence was unearthed by the investigation of less likely causes that went against the grain of stereotype.
Is driver error still on the table as a possible cause? As far as I am aware, yes. The driver could have been distracted, fatigued, or even impaired in some way. Aside from that, though, I hope investigators look into the state of the vehicle itself. Could a mechanical malfunction have played a role? Maybe, for example, something went wrong with the steering column? I understand that it isn’t super likely, but neither is it outside the realm of possibilities.
Hopefully investigators—whether the authorities or a third party—get to the bottom of it. In the end, the people affected by this accident deserve real answers backed by solid evidence. That kind of clarity just can’t be provided by surface-level investigation.
