How Did This Accident Occur?
The vast majority of people who look at this accident—a motorcycle in a single-vehicle accident late at night—will assume that the motorcyclist was at fault. I however, think that motorcyclists get a bad rap, in general. I’ve had the opportunity over the last three decades to analyze hundreds of single-vehicle motorcycle accidents. I’ve seen plenty of cases where the investigation turned up evidence that went against the grain of the stereotype.
I want to be clear that I don’t know anything more than the general public about what actually happened. The investigation has yet to release it’s findings. I simply want to suggest a hypothetical. Though motorcycles are smaller than passenger vehicles, they are still complex machines. Any number of things could have gone wrong with the motorcycle itself to cause the wreck. What about a tire blowout, for example? Or maybe brake failure?
An in-depth vehicle inspection done by a trained professional in a laboratory setting would be able to either rule out or bring to light any mechanical malfunctions or product defects. Unfortunately, inspections like this are not routinely done in most accident investigations, so a special request might have to be made. If the authorities still fail to take that step, a third party investigation can always step and do so, instead, just to make sure all bases are covered. After all, the loved ones left behind by Mr. Travis deserve to have real answers backed by solid evidence, not assumptions and convenient excuses that simply heap possibly unmerited blame on the shoulders of the deceased.
