How Did This Accident Occur?

In my experience, I’ve found that pedestrian crashes are just as complicated as those involving two vehicles. And can leave just as many questions.

At this point, we don’t know if the pedestrian was trying to cross the road or merely walking alongside it. Or whether the van was going straight, or veered out of its lane.

A complete investigation is necessary to sort out exactly what happened, so those affected by this crash will get answers to all of their questions about how it unfolded.
