I talk all the time about how many possible factors are important to investigate after a deadly crash. But sometimes, folks are less inclined to reserve their judgments when it comes to single vehicle wrecks. Put simply, this crash happened in a relatively rural area late at night. Were there any witnesses? Is this department equipped to handle complex accident reconstructions? The victim tragically is not here to tell their side of the story. So who exactly is going to ensure the evidence gets to speak for itself?
