How Did This Accident Occur?
I’ve been a part of enough accident probes over my 30-plus-year career to know that it is best to wait until the investigation is complete before reaching any conclusions about a crash. There are too many variables to rely on assumptions or guesswork, especially when facts can be unearthed.
Data from the Jeep’s engine control module can show brake, throttle and steering inputs before the crash. Cell phone records may show what the driver was doing at the time of the crash. Traffic camera footage could show if another vehicle forced the Jeep off the road. Taken all together, this should provide much-needed answers for the injured driver and her family.
