How Did This Accident Occur?

When a vehicle crashes into a median barrier at this time of the morning, it’s natural to assume it was caused by driver error or fatigue. That may prove to be the case, but this accident deserves a full investigation. Maybe another vehicle forced this SUV off the road, or maybe the GMC had an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism, but there is no way to know until the investigation is complete.

Authorities will work to reconstruct this accident by going over vehicle data, physical evidence, witness statements and available video footage, while cell phone records could show what the driver was doing at the time. An in-depth vehicle inspection will be needed if investigators suspect a mechanical problem contributed to this crash.

This investigation should answer any lingering questions those affected by this crash have about what happened on S.H. 31.
