With single-vehicle accidents, there’s always a concern of people jumping to conclusions. Even authorities sometimes rush through their investigations rather than considering all possibilities and giving the driver some benefit of the doubt until the facts are clear. That’s why crashes like this often fair better in the hands of independent investigators. At worst, they can help confirm the facts and ensure that nothing slipped through the cracks. At best, though, they can cover unusual or complex factors authorities might overlook and ensure that all sides of the story are told fairly.
