Single-vehicle wrecks come up a lot when I talk to people because there isn’t actually a lot of clarity on how they work. There are all kinds of complex possible factors a proper investigation will cover, such as things like mechanical issues, road hazards, medical conditions, tire defects, etc. That’s not to say they ignore more common factors, of course. Cell phone usage, speeding, and fatigue are obviously worth consideration, as well. At the end of the day, it’s about letting the evidence speak for itself so that nothing important goes overlooked.
