With a situation like this, it’s important to keep in mind that the public rarely gets to know the whole story. As straight-forward as things may seem, there could be more to it. For example, there was this crash I was discussing with a colleague where a woman crashed into the back of a truck and was seriously injured. That’s all folks knew, so there was obviously a lot of speculation. But weeks later, we found out that the woman’s vehicle actually had a serious defect, and that was ultimately the cause of her injuries. I’m not saying that happened here, but it’s an example of why folks shouldn’t go around rushing to conclusions when they’ve only seen a small glimpse of the much larger picture.
