To be rather blunt, crashes like this rarely get enough attention, and it’s worth considering whether or not authorities were thorough in their investigations. It’s not that I see specific information that gives me pause. Rather, single-vehicle wrecks make up a significant portion of the calls I get from victims and families who feel they’re not getting the answers they deserve. Maybe investigations into this crash were more thorough, but it wouldn’t be the first time if initial investigations came up short.
