When it comes to single-vehicle wrecks, folks tend to think things are obvious or straight-forward. They can be, but ignoring more complex possible factors only risks letting something important slip through the cracks. Was there a vehicle defect? Road hazards? A driver illegally over-served by an alcohol provider? A medical emergency? A tire blowout? Likely or not, these things happen, and they warrant attention. That’s why it can be frustrating when authorities are equally hasty in their conclusions and leave the victims and families involved with unanswered questions. Is that happening here?
