While it’s important to consider all kinds of possible contributing factors after crashes like this, two in particular will crucial. Generally speaking, investigations need to determine if the disabled vehicle avoidable, and they need to be able to say why it was disabled. Let me explain.
For one, a vehicle being disabled in the middle of a highway certainly creates a deadly hazard, especially for a motorcyclist. If the vehicle was unnecessarily blocking traffic, or if it wasn’t clearly visible, then it’s usually the case someone who hit the vehicle had no reasonable way of avoiding the collision. Otherwise, if the vehicle was reasonably avoidable, it would raise questions about why the other driver failed to avoid it.
Secondly, breakdowns aren’t always unforeseeable. There’s a big difference, for example, between an out-of-the-blue mechanical issue disabling the vehicle and a car running out of gas because the driver was being irresponsible. That’s why it’s important for investigators to determine how the vehicle came to stop and whether it was the result of a sudden mechanical issue or a series of avoidable mistakes.
Once all of these factors are considered, there can be a more fair and informed conclusion about what went wrong here. If nothing else, that’s the sort of prudence a serious accident deserves. It remains to be seen if authorities exercised that level of prudence.
