Were authorities thorough when looking into what may have happened here? I don’t always see reports mention things like mechanical defects, medical emergencies, issues with signage or lighting, or tire failure after serious wrecks like this. Some may think that’s because the driver probably just did something reckless. That’s certainly possible, but it’s important to consider even less likely possibilities to ensure nothing important slips through the cracks. Did authorities take those steps?
