How Did This Accident Occur?
Crashes at intersections are never easy to sort out, particularly when one vehicle was turning. Did the Tesla have the right of way to make the turn? Was the Dodge speeding at it approached the intersection? Did a mechanical issue, like worn brakes or a malfunctioning steering mechanism, prevent either vehicle from operating properly?
Authorities should be able to answer these questions after scrutinizing evidence at the scene, data from the vehicles and any available witness statements or dashcam footage. An independent investigation may be necessary because in my experience many law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training to take on an in-depth mechanical examination of the vehicles.
