How Did This Accident Occur?
Was this driver distracted or fatigued? Did another vehicle force the Dodge off the road? Did the pickup have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? I don’t claim to know the answer to these questions, but these are the kind of things that authorities must consider as they investigate this crash.
Physical evidence, witness statements, vehicle data and any available video footage should help investigators reconstruct this crash, while cell phone records could show what the driver was doing at the time of the crash.
If authorities suspect a mechanical problem contributed to this accident, an outside expert should examine the Dodge in a laboratory setting, because most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such inspections, in my experience.
This investigation should provide a clear picture of what happened on the I-20 service road for the injured driver and his family.
