How Did This Accident Occur?
When it comes to single-vehicle motorcycle accidents, it can be difficult for some people to fight the instinct to assume that it must have been a result of driver error. It’s true that human error plays a role in most accidents, but I’m not ready to settle on that conclusion without more information. Why? Because I have been in this line of work for over three decades; I’ve actually come to believe that motorcyclists often get a bad rap. There have been plenty of similar cases in which thorough investigation managed to uncover evidence of causes that went against the grain of stereotype.
I am not trying to give the impression that I am privy to more details about this specific accident than are already publicly available, by the way. As far as I know, driver error—whether it was due to distraction, fatigue impairment, et cetera—does remain on the table as a possible cause. However, I would like to suggest a hypothetical. What if the wreck was a result of something gone wrong with the Suzuki itself? Motorcycles, while smaller than passenger vehicles, are still complex machines. What if it was dealing with steering mechanism issues? Or maybe it had a tire blowout? Have brake failure or throttle issues been considered? I am well aware that these things are not very likely, but that does not mean they should automatically be ruled out.
An in-depth vehicle inspection done by trained professionals in a laboratory setting would be able to shed light on any underlying mechanical malfunctions or product defects that might otherwise have flown under the radar. Hopefully investigators—whether the authorities or a third party—get one done on the Suzuki. That way nothing important will inadvertently be allowed to slip through the cracks. After all, the people affected by this accident deserve more than the vague assumptions that often result from surface-level investigation.
