How Did This Accident Occur?

With authorities saying this happened due to a driver failing to yield, this all may seem open-and-shut. However, telling a victim’s side of the story means telling the whole story. So, it’s important investigators figure out exactly why the driver failed to yield. Were they on their phone? Intoxicated? Fatigued? Do they have a history of reckless driving? Is there an issue with this intersection that affects visibility? Even if something seems unlikely, it’s worth investigating to make sure the full story is brought to light. In my experience, that gives folks the best opportunity possible to get the resolution they deserve.
