How Did This Accident Occur?

There is still a lot we don’t know about this accident. I would caution people from jumping to conclusions. I think it’s more prudent to wait until the investigation is complete so that we can know what actually let to this fatal collision.

After all, it’s a thorough investigation that will ask questions like why the pedestrian was on the freeway? Were the involved in a previous accident and simply trying to reach the relative safety of the shoulder? And what about the car that struck them? Was it equipped with pedestrian detection that somehow malfunctioned? What about the vehicles headlights; were they working properly? And its brakes and steering. If they had been in proper condition, would the collision have been avoidable?

Any investigation worth its salt will be asking and answering these questions. If, for some reason, the authorities’ investigation seem to be lacking, then a third party investigation can always be considered, just to make sure all the bases are covered. After all, the people left behind by the person who lost their life in this accident deserve to have all these answers backed by solid evidence. That way, blame rests where it is deserved, not simply where it is convenient.
