How Did This Accident Occur?
There is still so much we don’t know about this accident, I think it would be prudent to wait until the investigation is complete and its findings have been released to the public. After all, there is an endless list of things that might have contributed. It does very little good to speculate without knowing more.
There is one thing that does spark my interest about this accident. Reports state that it was a rental vehicle. If the wreck was caused by a mechanical malfunction of some kind—like brake failure or a steering column issue, for example—then it is possible that the rental company could share a portion of the blame for the outcome of the wreck. After all, rental vehicles should be getting regular inspections and scheduled maintenance in order to ensure that they are safe to be rented out to customers.
To be clear, I’m not insinuating that I know more about this accident than anyone else outside of the investigation. I’m just suggesting a hypothetical, is all. Hopefully, the investigators—whether the authorities or a third party—get to the bottom of it.
