How Did This Accident Occur?
If the allegations here are true, then it would seem alcohol is the likely cause of all this. But anytime alcohol contributes to a crash, there could be more to the story than folks may realize. Investigations shouldn’t simply begin and end at the crash scene. A lot of drunk drivers end up in these positions in part because a negligent alcohol provider unlawfully over-served them.
Simply put, bars, restaurants, and other establishments break the law when they over-serve people who are obviously intoxicated. Those patrons then go out on the road and cause serious accidents. If authorities just put all of the blame on the drunk driver and move on, it allows a dangerous alcohol provider to fly under the radar so they can continue putting lives at risk. Eventually, another crash is bound to happen, and the cycle continues.
But if people start asking more questions after crashes like this, that cycle can stop. Was the driver intoxicated? Where were they before the crash? Did a local establishment break the law and contribute to the crash? Are they going to be held accountable, as well? Hopefully someone is asking all those questions here.
