How Did This Accident Occur?
When vehicles going the opposite direction collide, it usually means someone was distracted and either drifted left of center or tried to make an unsafe turn. But that’s just what’s most common. A proper investigation needs to consider other possibilities, as well. Poor visibility, malfunctioning traffic signals, a vehicle defect, a medical emergency, road hazards—likely or not, it’s important for investigators to rule out all possibilities. That’s especially true if one person was seriously injured, as they may not have been able to fairly tell their side of the story yet. Hopefully steps were taken here to give all the details the attention they need.
