It’s not unusual for authorities to release few details about a single-vehicle wreck. The concern is if they took time behind the scenes to give the accident the attention it deserved. Frankly, they’re not always seen as a high priority, so they might move on without ever digging into complex possible factors, like vehicle defects, road design flaws, issues with signage or lighting, medical conditions, etc. That’s when important details slip through the cracks. It’s only reasonable folks involved in a situation like that may eventually feel no one was working to tell their side of the story. Maybe authorities here were able to let the evidence speak for itself, but that’s not something I’d take for granted.
