How Did This Accident Occur?

There is still very little actually known about what happened in this accident. After three decades in this career, I’ve learned that it is often prudent to wait until the investigation is complete and more is publicly known before jumping to conclusions. After all, any number of things might have played a role in this collision.

What was the condition of the drivers? Were either of them ill, distracted, fatigued, or impaired in any way? What about the environment? Was the wreck intersection related? If so, did the design of the intersection have a hand in the outcome? What about the vehicles themselves? Was there a mechanical malfunction or product defect—such as a throttle issue or tire failure, for example—that might have contributed? Hopefully the investigators—whether the authorities or a third party—put in the necessary time and effort to get to the bottom of it.
