I certainly can’t offer more facts about the crash beyond what’s already publicly available. But it’s important people understand just how crucial proper accident reconstructions are. When people have serious injuries, it’s possible they’re not able to speak with police right away. That means authorities have to follow up to get their side of the story. Sometimes, officers forget or are just pulled to handle other responsibilities. That means important information could go completely overlooked. The more evidence there is, however, the better one can fill in the gaps and get the complete picture. Hopefully authorities were able to ensure that happened here.
