I certainly don’t know anything more about this crash than what’s already public. My hope is simply that authorities don’t jump to conclusions based on the driver’s age. A lot of folks will immediately blame teenage drivers without actually considering any evidence. This can lead to false or incomplete conclusions, which obviously isn’t ideal. So if authorities here can show they’re letting the evidence speak for itself, that would be good to hear. Otherwise, there may need to be efforts from unbiased independent investigators to keep the facts straight.
