When it comes to single-vehicle wrecks, it can surprise people to learn how often they’re mishandled. There can be extenuating circumstances to consider, such as mechanical issues, faulty safety devices, drivers illegally over-served by alcohol providers, road design flaws, etc. Authorities instead tend to just blame the drivers and move on. Maybe they’ve been more thorough here, but experience taught me not to take that for granted.
