How Did This Accident Occur?
At this point, it’s being treated as a foregone conclusion that the Honda crashed into the motorcycle while turning onto University Boulevard, but what if that’s not what happened? A review of available security or dashcam footage should confirm what happened, as part of the investigation of the crash.
A deeper look at the Honda may be needed to determine if it had a mechanical issue that contributed to the crash. That may require an independent expert, since many law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such examinations.
