Something that concerns me with crashes like this is that they don’t always get proper attention. I’ve found that both with the single-vehicle wrecks and motorcycle accidents, people are less willing to believe there’s even a small chance the driver didn’t do anything wrong. Mechanical defects, road design flaws, debris in the road, tire failure, medical emergencies—folks somehow forget all of those possibilities when a victim was on two wheels. Obviously, driver error is common, and I wouldn’t suggest overlooking it. But at the very least, investigations should be able to rule out the possibility of factors the driver may not have had control over. Otherwise, something important might slip through the cracks.
