How Did This Accident Occur?
When it comes to accidents that involved bicycles late at night, some people are quick to make assumptions about the visibility (or lack thereof) of the bicyclist. It’s true, when riding in the dark hours of the early morning, one should ensure the bike and the riding gear are properly reflective and have lights to help with visibility, but that is only one factor of many that investigators should be considering.
What was the state of the driver? Was she distracted, fatigued, or impaired in any way? What about the intersection design? Is it clear who should have had the right-of-way? Is the signage clear and visible, and are the roadway markings apparent, or have they perhaps faded? Is there a sufficient amount of lighting there? Honestly, the list of angles goes on and on.Thorough investigators will be openminded and consider all of them in order to ensure that the people affected by this wreck end up with the clarity they deserve. The vague assumptions that result from surface-level investigation just won’t cut it.
