How Did This Accident Occur?
When it comes to single-car accidents that happen in the dark hours of the early morning, many people are quick to place the blame on the driver. I’ve been in this line of business for over thirty years, though. In that time, I’ve seen plenty of similar accidents in which evidence of less likely causes ended up being unearthed by the investigations. That is why, as a general rule, I avoid jumping to conclusions.
That’s not to imply that I have more information about this accident than is already available to the public, by the way. As far as I am aware, driver error—whether it was due to distraction, fatigue, impairment, et cetera—remains on the table as a possible cause. However, I would like to suggest a hypothetical. What if, rather than driver error, the wreck was a result of something wrong with the vehicle itself? For example, what if the vehicle was dealing with a steering mechanism issue? Or perhaps it had a tire blowout? Have brake failure or throttle problems been considered? I understand that these things are not very likely, but that does not mean they should be automatically ruled out without at least being looked into.
An in-depth vehicle inspection done by trained professionals in a laboratory setting can shed light on any mechanical malfunctions or product defects that played a role in the wreck which might otherwise have flown unnoticed under the radar. Hopefully the investigators—whether the authorities or, if need be, a third party—get one done. That way nothing important will inadvertently be allowed to slip through the cracks. After all, the loved ones left behind by the victim deserve more than just vague assumptions based on surface-level investigation.
