Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
When two vehicles collide at an intersection, the first reports usually stop at “the vehicles crossed paths.” That may describe the outcome, but it doesn’t explain why the crash happened—or whether more could have been done to prevent or lessen the injuries.
Did investigators conduct a detailed reconstruction?
Intersection accidents often involve timing, visibility, and driver actions that aren’t obvious from a surface-level review. Proper investigation would mean mapping the roadway, reviewing skid marks, and analyzing how the vehicles made contact. Without that level of work, the picture of what happened may be incomplete.
Could a vehicle problem have contributed?
Sometimes a driver ends up in the wrong place not because of error, but because of a brake failure, steering issue, or sudden tire blowout. Beyond that, failures in airbags or seatbelts can turn a survivable crash into one with serious injuries. Inspections of both the Chevy and Ford are crucial before evidence disappears.
Has electronic evidence been preserved?
Both vehicles likely contain Engine Control Modules (ECMs) that record data on speed, braking, and steering inputs in the moments before impact. Cellphone records and traffic camera footage from a busy intersection like this could also provide important context. This evidence is time-sensitive and should be collected quickly.
Reports that only describe the collision leave too many questions unanswered. A full understanding comes from gathering every piece of evidence available, so the story is based on facts—not assumptions.
Takeaways:
- Intersection crashes require careful reconstruction to reveal how they unfolded.
- Vehicle or safety system defects may have influenced cause or injury severity.
- ECM data, cameras, and cellphone records are essential for a reliable account.
