How Did This Accident Occur?
With early morning single-vehicle car accidents like this, it’s easy for people to jump to conclusions. Things like distraction, fatigue, and alcohol are all too common. But instead of jumping to conclusions, it’s best to focus on gathering evidence so the facts can speak for themselves. Not only might there have been extenuating circumstances, but sometimes the driver had no way of avoiding the crash.
Did the vehicle lost control due to a tire blowout? Did the brakes go out? Was the driver unlawfully over-served by a negligent bar? Were they experiencing a medical emergency? Was there some other reckless driver who cut them off before fleeing the scene? Was there an object in the road?
Essentially, a possible factor being common or uncommon isn’t what matters. What matters is that investigators are able to account for all of these possibilities so the victim’s loved ones know they’re getting the full story. In my experience, that’s one of the best things that can be done for a family, whether their path forward involves seeking accountability or simply getting closure. So if authorities aren’t being thorough enough to consider all of these possibilities, there may need to be efforts from independent professionals to fill in the gaps.
