How Did This Accident Occur?
It would be easy to blame this crash on a fatigued or distracted driver, but I have learned over 30-plus years of accident investigations that the best ones are based on evidence, not assumptions. A full investigation will yield evidence to piece together how this crash happened.
Investigators may conclude the Ford driver was fatigued when she crashed into the median, or maybe she was swerving to avoid another vehicle or an obstacle in the road. Or maybe the car had a problem with its brakes or steering mechanism. The driver and her family deserve to know what happened on Gulf Freeway, based on facts, not anyone’s knee-jerk assumptions.
