When it comes to pedestrian accidents, people are sometimes quick to jump to conclusions. But any accident resulting in someone losing their life is worth careful scrutiny. Even if certain contributing factors may seem unlikely, it’s worth investigation if only to ensure the victim’s loved ones know they’re getting the whole story.

With that in mind, there was an ensuing accident involving an alleged drunk driver following this collision. With authorities being divided between those two serious accidents, I just hope they’re not going to let this one slip through the cracks and shift their focus before getting clear evidence.
