How Did This Accident Occur?
Whenever I read about a wrong way crash, I expect to see allegations that alcohol was a factor. That hasn’t been reported at this point, so maybe other possibilities should be considered.
What if the entrance to Grand Parkway was not marked properly? Or signs were missing? Or what if the Dodge ended up in the wrong lanes because some kind of mechanical issue affected its brakes or steering?
Investigators should be able to answer these questions as they pore over evidence from the scene, data from the vehicles and any available witness statements or traffic camera footage.
