Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
One of the most common concerns after crashes like this is people want to be sure their side of the story will be told fairly. Authorities aren’t always motivated to give crashes the attention they need, and that’s why it can be helpful to consider some key questions early on.
Did investigators take the time to fully analyze the crash scene?
Head-on collisions are often more complex than they appear. A thorough reconstruction would involve roadway mapping, measuring skid marks, and analyzing how the vehicles were damaged. Not every department has the training or resources to dig into those details, which means key factors about speed, lane position, or driver reaction could go undocumented.
Could a vehicle problem have contributed?
Brake failures, steering malfunctions, or sudden tire blowouts can all send a vehicle off course. Even if the crash wasn’t caused by a defect, failures in airbags or seatbelts can explain why one driver ends up with severe injuries while the other does not. Prompt inspections of both vehicles are critical to confirm or rule out these possibilities.
Was electronic data collected?
Both the Chevy and Ford likely contain Engine Control Modules (ECMs) that hold valuable information about speed, throttle, braking, and steering input in the seconds leading up to the collision. Cellphone records or cameras near the intersection could provide additional clarity. This evidence is time-sensitive and should be preserved quickly.
If authorities can show they’re being thorough and covering all angles, that’s good. But if their answers come up short, it may be time for more thorough independent investigators to step in and pick up the slack.
Takeaways:
- Head-on collisions demand detailed reconstruction to confirm what happened.
- Mechanical or safety system issues may affect both cause and injury severity.
- ECM data, cameras, and cellphone records are essential for a complete account.
