How Did This Accident Occur?
It is easy to assume early-morning crashes like this are due to driver fatigue or error, but I’d caution against guessing at what happened before the investigation is complete.
Did another vehicle cause the GMC to leave the road the first time? Did the 25-year-old vehicle have some sort of mechanical problem, like worn tires or faulty brakes, that contributed to this crash?
Investigators, either police or an independent third party, should be able to answer these and any questions that arise about the crash because in my experience nothing is more important to a grieving family than answers.
