How Did This Accident Occur?
People might jump to conclusions here based on common factors that contribute to early-morning car accidents—fatigue, distraction, unsafe speeds, etc. I want to help people consider that there can be unusual or potentially unavoidable reasons for a crash like this. For example, what if one of the victim’s tires failed? That could easily cause them to veer out of their lane suddenly. And not every police department has the tools for officers to distinguish been a tire that failed before the crash versus one that popped as a result of the damage caused by the collision. Maybe nothing like that happened here, but it’s important that investigations can at least rule out possible factors like that. Otherwise, crucial evidence could slip through the cracks.
