How Did This Accident Occur?
This crash presents a complicated puzzle for investigators, who must determine why the sedan crashed while trying to exit I-635 and why the pickup and semi subsequently collided with it.
Was the sedan going too fast when it tried to leave the highway? Or did it have a problem with its brakes or steering mechanism? Were other drivers distracted? Or did traffic leave them no way to avoid the crash? The answers will come from a thorough investigation of this accident.
Investigators will work to reconstruct this crash by gathering physical evidence, witness statements, data from the vehicles and any available video footage. Cell phone records could show what each driver was doing at the time of the crash, but if authorities suspect a mechanical issue contributed to the crash an independent expert likely will be needed to inspect the vehicles. Most law enforcement agencies do not have the time and training to conduct that kind of examination, in my experience.
These steps should provide the families affected by this crash with answers to any lingering questions they may have about the accident.
