People might see a pedestrian along an interstate and immediately jump to conclusions. However, it’s important a serious accident gets a serious investigation. Even unlikely possible factors are important to consider, especially if the victim wasn’t in a position to tell their side of the story due to their injuries. Sometimes, authorities are thorough enough to make sure that happens, but it wouldn’t be unusual for this situation to require more in-depth looks from independent investigators.
