One challenge with single-vehicle wrecks that doesn’t get talked about enough is how official investigations tend to be narrow in scope. In other words, authorities sometimes focus so much on looking for fault that they fail to do a proper accident investigation. Sometimes, a thorough independent investigation can show authorities missed crucial context. Other times, independent investigations just reaffirm what police already know. At the end of the day, though, it’s best to strive for a complete picture rather than jump to conclusions.
