What if the signal lights at the intersection were not working properly? What if the Camaro had an issue with its brakes that prevented it from stopping? I don’t know the answer to these questions, despite my years of experience in accident investigations, but I know these are scenarios that authorities must consider as they work to fully reconstruct this accident.
