How Did This Accident Occur?
When it comes to intersection-related accidents that happen late at night like this one did, there are some folks who will jump to the conclusion that it must have been a result of driver error. That is a distinct possibility. Human error does play a role in the majority of car accidents, statistically speaking. One or more of the three drivers could have been distracted, fatigued, or impaired, for example. However, I hope that the authorities are meticulous and open minded enough to consider less likely causes, as well.
I have been in this line of business for over three decades. I have even seen all kinds of cases where thorough investigation ended up unearthing evidence of causes that were highly unlikely. Could that have been the case here? Let me suggest a hypothetical. What if the traffic light at the intersection was malfunctioning at the time of the wreck? While excellent tools, they are not infallible. Could it not have given contradicting signals to the involved vehicles, leading to the collision in the intersection?
Hopefully investigators—whether the authorities or, if need be, a third party—are thorough enough to get to the bottom of it. After all, the people affected by this accident deserve more than the vague assumptions that often result from surface-level investigation.
