How Did This Accident Occur?
Many people who read about this crash likely would assume it was caused by driver error or fatigue. That is a reasonable possibility, but it is best to wait until the investigation is complete before reaching any conclusions about this accident.
What if another vehicle forced the Ford into the rail? What if the car had a problem with its brakes or steering mechanism? The answer to these questions will come from the investigation, not assumptions or guesswork.
Investigators will work to reconstruct the crash by poring over physical evidence, data from the Mustang’s engine control module and any available witness statements or video footage. Cell phone records could show what the driver was doing at the time of the crash.
If investigators suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this accident, an independent expert likely will be needed to examine the Mustang because most law enforcement agencies lack the time or training for more than a cursory inspection, in my experience.
A thorough investigation should provide a clear picture of what happened on U.S. Highway 190, leaving the injured driver and her family with no lingering questions.
