Something I talk about a lot with single-vehicle wrecks is how important it is to take them with a grain of salt. Frankly, there are a lot of possible factors which could be involved that even authorities can overlook. In fact, I’ve even had cases where there were extenuating factors even the victim didn’t know about, such as a case from not long ago where a victim’s injuries were caused by a defective seatbelt.

It’s possible authorities were thorough enough not to let anything important slip through the cracks, but that’s not something they generally prioritize. If there were extenuating circumstances to consider here, that may not be apparent with anything short of more thorough independent investigations.
