There isn’t much more information available right now, and that’s unfortunately nothing new when it comes to single-vehicle wrecks. Believe it or not, they’re one of the most common kinds of accidents folks call me about. Usually, their worries are the same: they don’t feel authorities gave their crash the attention it deserved. There are certainly departments out there whose traffic division is well-equipped, skilled, and dedicated to making sure nothing slips through the cracks. But people who wait around assuming their crash is in good hands sometimes find out the hard way that they’re not getting the whole story.
