How Did This Accident Occur?
At this point, we don’t know why these two vehicles collided. Did one of them run a stop sign or other traffic signal? Was one of them speeding? Did a mechanical issue like faulty brakes contributed to the crash? I don’t know the answer to these questions, and neither does anyone else until a full investigation is completed.
Authorities likely will pore over evidence at the scene, witness statements, data from the vehicles and any available video of the crash. Cell phone records could show what each driver was doing at the time of the crash. A forensic examination to identify a vehicle defect likely will require an independent expert, since in my experience most law enforcement agencies don’t have that kind of training.
These steps are vital to ensure the injured driver and his family know everything possible about this crash.
