People often see citations and assume that makes an accident open-and-shut. But investigations need to be thorough enough to rule out even unlikely possible factors. Road conditions, vehicle defects, drugs and alcohol, poor lighting ore signage, etc. It’s possible nothing unusual happened here. It’s also possible there were extenuating circumstances that preliminary investigations alone won’t be able to address. At the end of the day, the priority should be ensuring the victim’s loved ones are certain they’re getting the full story.
