When I read about a head-on collision like the one reported on March 7th along SH 105, where two lives were lost and others seriously injured, I’m reminded how crucial it is not to take the surface-level explanation at face value. A vehicle crossing the center line often leads people to assume driver error, but in my experience, the real story is often more complex. To understand what actually happened, and to provide answers to the families affected, we need to ask three vital questions.

First, did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash? Head-on collisions are among the most violent and complex types of crashes, often requiring careful reconstruction to determine not just where the vehicles ended up, but how and why they got there. That involves examining physical evidence like skid marks, gouge marks on the roadway, and debris fields, as well as analyzing environmental factors like road lighting and visibility. Unfortunately, not every investigative team has the resources or training to gather all that information, which means important clues could go undocumented.

Second, has anyone considered whether a vehicle defect may have caused or contributed to the crash? When a vehicle crosses the center line, it’s common to assume distraction or fatigue, but mechanical failure must also be considered. A sudden loss of steering control, brake failure, or even tire issues could easily result in a vehicle veering into oncoming traffic. These kinds of defects often go undetected unless someone performs a forensic examination of the vehicle, and that kind of review only happens if the vehicle is preserved. Once a car is disposed of, it becomes almost impossible to evaluate it for mechanical failure.

Lastly, has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected? Both the Nissan and the Ford Fusion likely contain electronic control modules (ECMs) that store valuable data such as speed, braking behavior, and steering inputs leading up to the crash. That information can help clarify whether the Nissan driver tried to correct or brake before the impact. In addition, cell phone records, GPS data, and any dash or surveillance camera footage could add further context. But time is critical—data from these systems can be overwritten or lost if not retrieved quickly.

Until we can confidently answer these questions, we don’t have a full picture of what led to this tragic incident. The people who lost their lives, the injured survivors, and their loved ones deserve more than assumptions—they deserve clarity. And clarity only comes when every possible explanation is explored and every piece of evidence is preserved and examined.
