Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman

Perhaps there has been more information behind the scenes that would inspire some confidence that there will be answers for what happened here. My concern, though, is thinking back to situations involving non-standard vehicles like motorcyclists, bikes, mopeds, scooters, and other such vehicles. Those operators don’t always get the benefit of the doubt that drivers of typical vehicles get. As such, there can be important details that slip through the cracks if particular steps aren’t taken to catch those details. Hopefully authorities here will prove to be prudent enough to handle that and ensure the full story here is clear.
