How Did This Accident Occur?

Was the pedestrian walking in the road, or trying to cross it? Was the area well lit? Was the Subaru driver distracted or fatigued? Did the car have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? These are the kind of things that investigators must consider as they work to reconstruct this accident.

The answers will come from a thorough review of vehicle data, physical evidence, witness statement and any available video footage, while cell phone records could help authorities track the pedestrian’s movements.

If investigators suspect a mechanical problem contributed to this crash, the Subaru should be examined in a laboratory setting. Most law enforcement agencies are not equipped for such inspections, in my experience, but the pedestrian’s family deserves to know as much as possible about what caused this accident.
