There is a lot about this crash that I can’t confirm right now, and I’m certainly not here to speculate. What I will say, though, is people sometimes get so caught up in looking for blame that they fail to consider just how complex a proper accident reconstruction truly is. That’s why I hope steps are being taken here to consider the full context of the events. If nothing else, the victim’s loved ones deserve to know they’re getting the full story.
