How Did This Accident Occur?
When vehicles crash at an intersection, it’s easy to assume that it must have been distracted driving, fatigue, or just plain recklessness. It’s important, though, to consider all possibilities. Even something unusual like an issue with the traffic signal is worth ruling out. I’ve never seen it help anyone to jump to conclusions. Conversely, focusing on the evidence almost always gets people the best resolutions possible after a serious crash. So, hopefully authorities or independent professionals have worked to get clear answers here and haven’t left anyone with unanswered questions.
