Reading about this, I wonder: Did authorities happen to find an explanation for why only one person was seriously injured? There could be a reasonable explanation, but folks in a crash like this tend to at least have comparable injuries. The fact that even the person sitting right next to the injured driver here was more or less okay is a serious red flag. It makes me wonder if something unusual with the victim’s vehicle led to serious injuries which otherwise could have been prevented.

Again, there may not be anything unusual about this crash, but one has to wonder if authorities really know the whole story here.
