How Did This Accident Occur?

It would be easy to assume this crash was caused by driver error or fatigue, but in my experience assumptions have no place in accident investigations. Authorities should gather the facts necessary to get to the truth of what happened on this stretch of Decker Street.

That means poring over vehicle data, physical evidence, witness statements and available video footage to reconstruct this accident. Investigators also should push for an in-depth inspection of the motorcycle to determine if a mechanical problem or manufacturer’s defect contributed to this crash.

The official investigation should give the Suzuki rider and her family a clear picture of what caused this accident, or they may opt to have an independent investigator take another look at the evidence.
