How Did This Accident Occur?

Most people likely would guess fatigue as the most likely cause for a crash at this time of the morning, but I’ve investigated enough accidents to know that facts, not assumptions, are the best way to figure out what happened.

At this point, we don’t know if the driver veered off the road to avoid some sort of obstacle, or if a mechanical defect hampered her vehicle’s steering or braking capabilities.

That is why a thorough investigation is necessary, so the driver and her loved ones can get a clear picture of what caused this crash.
