How Did This Accident Occur?
Common causes for single-vehicle car accidents can include things like distracted driving, fatigued driving, and unsafe speeds. That’s likely why so many people look at a crash like this and automatically assume the driver did something wrong. But there are virtually countless other possible reasons a car might crash, and not all of them are foreseeable or avoidable.
Just for example, what if a tire blew out? That’s not always something drivers can help. If something in the road punctured the tire, if the road has dangerous pot holes, or even if the tire itself failed because a defect or flaw, it obviously wouldn’t be reasonable to hold a driver accountable for that. That’s why it’s important for investigations to focus on gathering evidence rather than looking for blame.
Hopefully authorities are doing just that, but sometimes it takes multiple investigations and bringing in an outside opinion to ensure nothing went overlooked. It wouldn’t be unusual if the same were true here.
