People often mistake single-vehicle wrecks for being “simple” just because there’s only one vehicle involved. In reality, they can be incredibly complex. Authorities don’t often prioritize these kinds of accidents, so officers may not be given the time or tools to investigate things properly. That can leave victims looking to tell their side of the story without anyone around to help tell it. That’s one of the reasons independent investigations tend to be more reliable after crashes like this. Sometimes, they’ll confirm everything authorities already know. Other times, they find important details authorities let slip through the cracks. One way or another, the evidence needs to be able to speak for itself, and there isn’t clear indication right now that’s happening here.
