People might be quick to assume that an accident like this all comes down to who had the right-of-way. That’s obviously important, but it’s important to consider all possible contributing factors. Even when someone fails to yield, there could be extenuating circumstances to consider—alcohol, distracting, lighting, speed, some kind of emergency, etc. Hopefully authorities here have focused on letting the evidence speak for itself rather than jumping to conclusions.
