How Did This Accident Occur?
It’s not clear which vehicle had the right of way at this intersection, or why the other vehicle proceeded without it. Was the driver fatigued or distracted? Was the traffic light working properly? Did the vehicle have a problem with its throttle or brakes? These are the kind of questions that authorities must consider as they investigate this crash.
Investigators typically rely on physical evidence, witness statements, vehicle data and available video footage to reconstruct accidents like this. Cell phone records could show what each driver was doing at the time of the crash.
If authorities suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this crash, a qualified expert should examine both vehicles in a laboratory setting before they are scrapped or repaired.

A thorough investigation should answer any lingering questions the Nissan driver’s family may have about this crash.
