How Did This Accident Occur?
If it’s true that the Ford went through a red light here, then this all might seem pretty open-and-shut. After all, teen drivers are prone to mistakes. But it’s always important for victims and families to have all the facts possible surrounding a serious accident. For one, there may have been something unusual that happened. Even something like a malfunctioning traffic light should get attention. And even if nothing unusual happened, ruling it out helps fill in all the gaps so victims and families can get the best resolution possible for their situation. If authorities can’t show they’re working toward that goal, then things may need to be in the hands of more thorough independent investigators.
