With crashes like this, accident reconstructions can be a lot more complex than folks may realize. They have to include possible factors like mechanical issues, road design flaws, defects, tire blowouts, and medical conditions. Usually, though, people won’t wait for the facts and instead just assume the driver was on their phone or driving drunk. Are those more common? Of course, but there are so many single-vehicle wrecks, something unusual is bound to happen eventually. The time authorities decide they’re too busy to consider those less common factors could be the time they let something crucial slip through the cracks. Right now, I don’t see any reason why this crash would be an exception to that.
