Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Crashes involving multiple vehicles going the same direction often come down to one key question—what exactly happened in those final moments, and has anyone taken the time to piece it together?
Did investigators put in the time and tools to fully document the crash?
When speed and spacing between vehicles are factors, small details can make a big difference. Did anyone track braking distances? Were vehicle positions measured and photographed? If authorities didn’t take those steps, it’s possible some important context was left out.
Has anyone confirmed whether a mechanical issue might have played a role?
If the Mustang couldn’t slow down in time, that might not just be about attention or judgment. It could be a failing brake system, tire issue, or even a sensor malfunction. Mechanical breakdowns don’t leave clear signs unless someone looks for them—and without an inspection, those possibilities stay open.
Was any crash data retrieved from the vehicles?
Most newer vehicles record what the driver was doing seconds before a crash—like braking, steering, or accelerating. That information can cut through guesswork and help clarify what each driver did or didn’t do. But this data disappears quickly if no one acts to preserve it.
When someone’s seriously hurt, what matters most is making sure the full story gets told, backed by facts—not just assumptions.
Takeaways:
- Even simple-looking collisions may hide key unanswered questions.
- Mechanical failures should be ruled out, not overlooked.
- Crash data can give the clearest account of driver actions before impact.
