How Did This Accident Occur?
I want to say up front that I don’t know more about this crash than what’s in the news. But when this many vehicles crash at an intersection, it’s often because someone plowed through a red light without stopping or tried to make a turn at extremely unsafe speeds. Hopefully authorities have been preserving as many witness statements as possible to put the facts together, but I also hope they’ve worked to pull vehicle data.
Cars and commercial vehicles often have an engine control module (ECM) that can show things like speeds, braking, and steering inputs leading up to the crash. This can help confirm what each driver was doing in the moments leading up to the accident, including how fast they reacted. This is something I see authorities overlook far too often, yet it can prove crucial for getting victims and families the answers and the help they deserve. So, if authorities ever let that sort of thing slip through the cracks, it may be a sign to bring in independent investigators who will leave no stone unturned.
