How Did This Accident Occur?
People might read this and figure everything comes down to who had the right-of-way. That’s obviously important. A lot of accidents like this happen when pedestrians cross the middle of dark roads or when drivers fail to yield without making sure there are no pedestrians trying to cross the intersection. But that’s really just one part of the investigation. There are sometimes situations where a driver, for example, has the right-of-way, but is doing something wrong that prevents them from avoiding an otherwise avoidable accident. Investigations should be thorough enough to consider this possibility, even if it’s just to rule it out. Are authorities doing that here, or are there aspects of this crash not getting proper attention?
