This soon after a deadly crash, the last thing anyone should do is jump to conclusions. Considering how often motorcycle wrecks can lead to hasty assumptions, there’s only more reason to make sure that all the facts come to light here before anyone says they think they know what happened. In time, further investigations will no doubt get clear answers about what all led up to the collision, and the evidence will be allowed to speak for itself. Hopefully authorities are hard at work to ensure that happens here.
