How Did This Accident Occur?
With a crash involving two oncoming vehicles colliding, it’s important to make sure even subtle evidence is being preserved and given close attention. I too often find that authorities put all of their focus on looking for what a driver may have done wrong. Obviously, mistakes can lead to a crash like this. Distraction and fatigue are common places where a crash investigation would start. But it’s also important to consider that something beyond either driver’s control led to the crash, as well.
For example, what are road conditions like in this area? Are there dangerous potholes? Is there debris that wasn’t cleaned up? Are lanes uneven? Is the speed limit unsafe? Are signs or painted lines not clearly visible? Are there dangerous intersection which need better traffic control?
It would surprise folks how often these things slip through the cracks. I generally only see it get attention from independent investigators who actually take the time to dig beneath the surface and investigate uncommon possible factors. That’s important after any serious accident, but that’s especially important when one of the drivers isn’t around to give their side of the story. Having as much clear evidence as possible can help ensure that the full story comes to light so all families involved can move forward toward whatever resolution best suits their needs.
