Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Late-night crashes at busy intersections often leave more unknowns than answers. When multiple vehicles are involved and one person loses their life, it’s important to ask whether every step was taken to understand exactly how things unfolded—not just in the moment, but leading up to it.
1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
When three vehicles collide at an intersection, it raises questions about timing, positioning, and right-of-way. Did investigators reconstruct the sequence of events, document vehicle speeds, and determine whether signals were obeyed? These details matter, and not every investigation goes that deep. The quality of the review often hinges on the training and resources of those first on the scene.
2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
It’s possible that one of the vehicles failed to respond the way the driver expected. Problems with brakes, electronic stability systems, or signal functions could all play a role—especially in a high-traffic area where decisions happen fast. Unless someone examined the vehicles closely, there’s no way to rule out that kind of failure.
3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Modern vehicles carry detailed electronic records—speed, braking, steering, and more. Phone activity, GPS logs, and traffic camera footage could also help clarify who entered the intersection when and under what conditions. If that data was preserved, it may hold answers that the crash scene alone can’t provide.
With limited details available, the most important thing is making sure the right questions are being asked. That’s how real clarity begins to take shape.
Takeaways:
- It’s unclear if the crash scene was fully reconstructed to determine vehicle paths and timing.
- Mechanical failures or faulty systems may have played a role and should be checked for.
- Vehicle data and traffic footage could clarify how the crash happened—if they were reviewed.
