When it comes to single-vehicle wrecks, people tend to assume things are all open-and-shut. In reality, they don’t often get much attention from authorities, so things can easily slip through the cracks without more thorough independent investigations.
Generally speaking, authorities will focus all of their attention on things like speeding, fatigue, or distracted driving. Those are common possible factors, and they’re obviously worth considering. But what about other possibilities? Did a tire blowout? Was there something in the road? Did a bar unlawfully over-serve the driver? Did the vehicle have defects? Did the driver experience a medical emergency? Likely or not, these things happen, and they’re worth considering. So if authorities haven’t extended the scope of their investigations to include these kinds of questions, they could be missing something important.
