With someone being blamed for the crash, things may seem rather open-and-shut. But knowing what happened and knowing why it happened are two different things. The latter often requires a more thorough understanding of the evidence, and that includes ruling out possible road hazards or vehicle defects, for example. When people are harmed in a crash, they need as much evidence telling their side of the story as possible. If there are gaps in the story, that’s an opportunity for someone to muddy the waters and shift the blame. So if it seems like authorities aren’t getting the whole story here, there may need to be more thorough independent investigations to make sure nothing important slipped through the cracks.
