I have to wonder what kind of attention authorities gave to this accident. I’ve seen a lot of serious pedestrian accidents get completely overlooked because they’re often seen as a low priority for the authorities. That can lead to important details going unnoticed. Did that happen here, or were authorities able to dedicate proper time and resources to the investigations?
