People tend to assume crashes like this are simple. Just check vehicle speeds and people’s phones, and that’s likely the whole story. However, more thorough investigations will need to cover even unlikely possible factors. Otherwise, something important could slip through the cracks.

For example, it stands out that only one person was seriously injured here. A lot of the time, that’s just due to the unique circumstances of the crash itself. That said, it can also be a red flag of a possible vehicle defect. If airbags, seatbelts, and other features protected everyone else yet failed to protect the victim, it could be there was something uniquely wrong with their vehicle. That can require a careful and thorough inspection of the vehicle, which isn’t something authorities typically do on their own.

Likely or not, the goal should be to get the whole story. If authorities haven’t taken time to do that, that may be up to more dedicated independent professionals.
