How Did This Accident Occur?

Authorities clearly believe this all happened due to a driver running a red light. If that’s true, it remains to be seen why that driver did so. The most likely explanation is that they were on their phone. Despite what many think, that’s not always so open-and-shut.

For years now, cellphone data is the first thing I want to preserve during a crash investigation. Not only can it show things like texts, calls, and internet history at the time of the crash, it can also contain GPS data. That can help verify the speed and behavior of the vehicle leading up to the crash. It can also contain vital information if someone was drinking at a bar or restaurant prior to the crash.

Despite all of this vital evidence, it isn’t always something authorities automatically secure. After all, people don’t have to hand over their phone unless a court tells them to. So if authorities feel they can secure potential charges without getting that information, they’re likely to take the path of least resistance. For the victims and families, though, they need as much evidence as possible telling their side of the story. Cellphone data can be a vital piece of evidence, so it’s important to make sure early on that it’s part of the investigation.
