According to authorities, 39-year-old Shamarcus Holloway was traveling in an eastbound Chevrolet Trax on the I-20 service road in the vicinity west of Campus Drive when the accident took place. Officials indicate that, for reasons yet to be confirmed, the Trax was involved in a single-vehicle collision in which it apparently struck a road sign.

How Did This Accident Occur?
Many folks, when they hear about single-car accidents, assume that they must have been caused by driver error. After over three decades in this line of business, I’m not so eager to settle on that conclusion just yet. Why? Because I have seen plenty of similar cases in which evidence of less likely causes ended up being unearthed through thorough investigation.
To be clear, I’m not implying that I have more information about this specific accident than is already available to the public. I simply want to point out that, hypothetically, the wreck could have been a result of something gone wrong with the Trax rather than driver error. What if, for example, it had experienced brake failure? Or perhaps the steering mechanism was having issues? Have tire blowouts or throttle problems been considered? True, these things are not very likely, but neither are they impossible.
Additionally, I am interested to know how well the safety features of the Chevrolet performed in the wreck. Did airbags deploy correctly and in a timely manner? What about the seatbelt? Did it functions like it was designed to? You might be wondering why it matters? Well, if any of these things were faulty, then it is possible that the victim’s injuries ended up being more serious than they should have been.
Hopefully investigators—whether the authorities or a third party—get an in-depth vehicle inspection done on the Trax. That way any mechanical malfunctions or product defects that had a hand in the wreck will not be allowed to just fly under the radar unnoticed. After all, the people affected by this accident deserve more than just the vague assumptions that often result from surface-level investigation.
