How Did This Accident Occur?
Most people likely would attribute this crash to driver fatigue without giving it a second thought, but I’ve been part of enough crash investigations in my career to know that often the simplest explanation isn’t the right one.
What if another vehicle forced the Ford to swerve into the pole? What if the pickup had a problem with its steering mechanism?
These possibilities must be addressed in the investigation of this crash, as authorities scrutinize witness reports, evidence from the scene, data from the pickup and any available traffic camera footage. This will yield the facts necessary to figure out how this crash happened.
