How Did This Accident Occur?
At this point, we don’t know much about this accident. Was the pedestrian walking in the road, or on the shoulder? Was the area well lit? Was the driver distracted or fatigued? Did the Nissan have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? The best way to answer these questions, in my experience, is to wait until the investigation is completed.
Investigators will review vehicle data, physical evidence, witness statements and available video footage to reconstruct this crash, while cell phone records could show if the Nissan drive was texting or interacting with an app at the time.
If authorities suspect a mechanical problem contributed to this crash, a qualified expert should examine the Nissan in a laboratory setting. Most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such inspections, but the pedestrian and his family deserve to know as much as possible about what caused this accident.
