Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When a crash results in multiple deaths and serious injuries, the investigation must be as complete as possible. That means looking far beyond the obvious damage to uncover exactly how events unfolded and why.
Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Not every agency has the tools, training, or time to perform a full reconstruction. In a case this severe, a proper investigation would likely include laser-mapping the scene, documenting vehicle positions and damage, analyzing skid and yaw marks, and determining each vehicle’s path and timing into the intersection. Without those steps—and without specialized crash reconstruction expertise—important details about sequence and cause can remain unknown.
Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
Mechanical issues like brake or steering failures can prevent a driver from avoiding a collision. In addition, defects in airbags or seatbelts can turn what should have been a survivable crash into a fatal one. The only way to know is to promptly inspect each vehicle before repairs or salvage destroy key evidence.
Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
The Engine Control Modules (ECMs) in both vehicles may store data on speed, throttle position, braking, and steering inputs leading up to impact. Nearby camera footage and cellphone records could add critical context, such as confirming distraction or verifying direction and speed. These records are time-sensitive and must be secured quickly to avoid being overwritten or lost.
In a collision of this scale, thorough reconstruction isn’t optional—it’s the only way to ensure the full truth is uncovered so families can begin taking steps forward toward a proper resolution.
Takeaways:
- Serious crashes require advanced tools and expertise to accurately reconstruct events.
- Mechanical or safety system defects can change both the cause and the severity of a collision.
- ECM data, camera footage, and cellphone records can provide the clearest account if collected promptly.
