How Did This Accident Occur?
It would be easy for police to attribute this crash to driver error or fatigue, but I’ve seen enough crashes like this during my career to know there usually isn’t such a simple explanation.
What if another driver forced this SUV off the road? What if the Ford blew a tire or had a problem with its brakes or steering mechanism?
You can’t answer those questions without a full investigation that includes studying evidence from the scene, data from the SUV and potentially information from the driver’s cell phone. Questions about whether the SUV was operating properly may require an independent investigation, since law enforcement agencies often lack the time or training necessary for such an examination.
