How Did This Accident Occur?
There isn’t nearly enough information available to the public right now to answer this question. My hope, considering the serious nature of what happened here, is that authorities treat the crash as a top priority. It would surprise folks how often car accident simply slip through the cracks when departments look at them as low on their list of things to spend time, effort, and resources on.
In fact, a lot of the families who call me asking for help do so specifically because they feel authorities aren’t giving them any clear answers despite spending weeks or months on the investigations. Maybe authorities have already shown behind the scenes that they’re working hard to get answers here. That’s just not the sort of thing I’d ever take for granted without seeing the evidence they’ve come up with myself.
If anyone happened to be in the area when the crash happened, did you see anything that news reports have left out? Let me know in the comments.
