How Did This Accident Occur?
It would be easy to assume that this crash was caused by driver error or fatigue, but more than 30 years of being involved in accident investigations has shown me that it is better to rely on facts than assumptions.
What if another vehicle forced the Chevrolet off the road? Was there some sort of obstruction in the road? Did the SUV have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? The facts that come from the investigation of this crash will help answer these questions.
Investigators typically rely on physical evidence, witness statements, data from the vehicle’s engine control module and any available video footage to reconstruct this accident. Cell phone records could show what the driver was doing at the time of the crash, but an independent expert may be needed if authorities suspect a mechanical problem contributed to the crash. Most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for the needed examination, in my experience.
A thorough investigation will provide answers to any lingering questions the injured Chevrolet driver may have about this crash.
