My hope is that steps have been taken here to let the evidence speak for itself. That also means investigators should be considering as much evidence as possible. Frankly, I’ve seen countless single-vehicle wrecks throughout my career where authorities treat the situation as open-and-shut or as a low priority. Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents make this even worse, since a lot of people are quick to see all riders as reckless. At the end of the day, someone lost their life here. Their loved ones deserve to know that they’re getting all the facts and that bias isn’t getting in the way. If it seems like authorities come up short on their responses here, then there may need to be more thorough independent investigations.
