How Did This Accident Occur?
A lot of folks look at pedestrian accidents and assume it’s all about who had the right-of-way. As important as that is, it’s often just one factor of many that needs attention. For instance, alcohol may have been a factor. This road could be dangerous for pedestrians due to a lack of signage or lighting. The driver may have been on their phone. Only by taking all of the facts into account can investigators truly say how all of this could have been avoided. Hopefully authorities took the time to dig into all of that already, but it wouldn’t be unusual if getting a proper investigation required more dedicated independent investigators stepping in.
