How Did This Accident Occur?

With so few details available surrounding this wreck, there will be some who just make the assumption it must have been caused by driver error. I understand that instinct; human error does play a role in most car accident. However, I’m not willing to settle on that conclusion without more information. I’ve seen plenty of cases over the last thirty years of my career in which thorough investigation ended up uncovering evidence of less likely causes.

That’s not to say that I know for sure that driver error wasn’t a factor, by the way; as far as I know things like distraction, fatigue, impairment, et cetera could have had a hand in the wreck. But what if it was caused by something like brake failure or steering mechanism issues? An in-depth vehicle inspection would be able to bring any mechanical malfunctions or product defects like that to light. Hopefully investigators—whether the authorities or, if need be, a third party—get one done.

When everything is said and done, the loved ones left behind by the deceased victims deserve to be given a clear and detailed understanding not only of how the wreck occurred, but also why. That kind of clarity—real answers backed by solid evidence—simply can’t be provided by surface-level investigation.
