How Did This Accident Occur?
Scant details about this crash have been made public at this point, so I’d caution against reaching any conclusions about this crash before an investigation is complete.
Police likely will consider obvious causes like driver error or fatigue, but will they look at the possibility of a tire blowout, faulty steering mechanism or software failure in the vehicle? I’m not certain about that, but I know we must reserve judgment until the investigation is complete.
