With single-vehicle wrecks, it’s important to know what kind of attention authorities gave the situation. Frankly, they tend to be treated as a low priority. That means important evidence can slip through the cracks unless independent investigators are helping to act as a safety net. Maybe authorities here have been thorough enough to look into vehicle data, inspect for defects, examine road conditions, lighting, and signage, and otherwise ensure nothing unusual goes overlooked. If that required more thorough independent investigations, it wouldn’t be unusual.
