With details this seemingly straight-forward, people may assume the investigations would be simple. Any car accident with serious injuries is going to be complex, though. It’s not just about what happened in the crash. It’s also about what comes next for the victims involved. In my experience, the people with the most evidence backing up their side of the story are the ones who will have the best outcomes. So instead of treating an accident as open-and-shut, it’s prudent to make sure it gets as thorough an investigation as possible so nothing important slips through the cracks. Whether authorities here were able to do that on their own remains to be seen.
