How Did This Accident Occur?
Reading about a crash like this at 4 a.m., it would be easy to assume the driver dozed off behind the wheel, but what if the Honda had a problem with its brakes? Or a software issue that affected the car’s operation? Investigators must consider all of these potential causes as they work to reconstruct this accident.
They should find clues to what happened on F.M. 2879 by poring over physical evidence, data from the car’s engine control module and any available witness statements or video footage. Cell phone records could show what the driver was doing at the time of the crash, but an outside expert may be needed if investigators suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this accident.
Most law enforcement agencies do not have the time or training to conduct a forensic examination of the Honda, in my experience, but it needs to be done before car is repaired or scrapped.
These steps should provide answers to any lingering questions plaguing the injured driver and his family.
