Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When an intersection crash is reduced to “the vehicles collided,” that leaves out the most important part—why it happened. For those hurt, it’s not enough to know where the crash occurred; they need to understand how and why events came together the way they did.
Did investigators conduct a thorough reconstruction?
Intersection crashes hinge on timing, speed, and driver behavior. A full review would involve mapping the roadway, checking for skid marks, and analyzing the angles of impact. Without that work, important details about fault or contributing factors could go unrecorded.
Could a vehicle problem have been involved?
Sometimes a failure to stop or yield isn’t purely driver error. Brake failures, steering malfunctions, or tire blowouts can all push a vehicle into another’s path. And beyond the cause itself, if airbags or seatbelts fail, a survivable crash can leave someone with serious injuries. Inspecting both vehicles is crucial.
Was electronic evidence preserved?
The GMC and Ford both likely contain Engine Control Modules (ECMs) that can provide key data about speed, braking, and steering inputs before the crash. Cellphone records and possible traffic camera footage at a busy intersection like this could also fill in important details. This evidence must be secured quickly before it’s lost.
The phrase “the vehicles collided” is only a starting point. Getting to the truth requires gathering every available piece of evidence.
Takeaways:
- Intersection collisions need more than a surface-level explanation.
- Vehicle or safety system defects may have influenced both cause and injury severity.
- ECM data, camera footage, and cellphone records are essential for clarity.
