One concern with single-vehicle accidents like this is that if the driver was seriously injured, they may not have been able to tell their side of the story to the investigating officer. Officers tend to follow up later on, but sometimes that doesn’t happen. As a result, authorities may simply move on and draw conclusions based on incomplete information. It’s one of the reasons I talk a lot on this blog about the importance of making sure investigations are in the right hands. If authorities aren’t going to dedicate the time and effort needed to consider all possible contributing factors, there should be measures in place to catch what they might let slip through the cracks.
