How Did This Accident Occur?
For some people, it’s hard to fight the instinct to assume that single-vehicle motorcycle accidents must have been the result of rider error. Personally, though, I hesitate to jump to conclusions. I’ve been in this line of work for over three decades, and I’ve come to believe that motorcyclists generally get a bad rap. I’ve seen plenty of similar cases in which thorough investigation ended up uncovering evidence of causes that went against the grain or stereotype.
I want to be clear, though; I’m not insinuating that I know more information about this specific accident than is already available to the public. As far as I am aware, driver error—whether it was due to distraction, fatigue, impairment, et cetera—remains on the table as a possible cause. However, I would like to point out that, hypothetically, the wreck could have been a result of something gone wrong with the Suzuki itself rather than driver error. For example, what if it was dealing with brake failure? Or perhaps its steering mechanism was having issues? Have throttle problems or tire blowouts been considered? I do understand that these things are not very likely, but that does not mean they shouldn’t at least be looked into.
An in-depth vehicle inspection done by trained professionals in a laboratory setting would be able to shed light on any underlying mechanical malfunctions or product defects that played a role in the wreck which might otherwise have flown unnoticed under the radar. Hopefully investigators—whether the authorities or, if need be, a third party—get one done. That way nothing important will inadvertently be allowed to slip through the cracks. After all, the people affected by this accident deserve a clear and detailed understanding as to both how and why it occurred. Surface-level investigation just won’t cut it.
