How Did This Accident Occur?
It will take some time to get answers about what caused this crash. In the meantime, I was surprised to see there were only minor injuries, considering how chaotic all the images from the scene were. Hopefully that’s true, and there isn’t a situation like some cases I’ve had where people end up being far more seriously injured than the news suggests. That’s why I always say accidents need to be taken seriously. Even if things don’t seem too dire in the beginning, it’s much better to have evidence you don’t need than to need evidence you don’t have.
Was anyone in the area when this crash happened who can describe what they saw? Let me know in the comments.
