Commentary
One of the most challenging parts of single-vehicle wrecks like this is families want to know their loved one's side of the story is being told fairly. Unfortunately, that doesn't always happened. These accidents are sometimes treated as a low priority, so important details can go overlooked. This is why I've found it's helpful for families to consider a few key questions about these accidents.
Were investigators thorough in documenting the scene, or did they just gather the basics before moving on? Did anyone look into whether a defect—like failed brakes, steering issues, or even malfunctioning airbags—played a role in the severity of the crash? And just as important, was electronic data like the Engine Control Module, phone activity, or camera footage collected before it could be lost?
Asking these questions early can make the difference between getting a partial picture and having a clear understanding of what truly happened. If authorities can provide clear answers, they're likely taking the investigations seriously. If not, though, then it gives families a chance to seek out more thorough investigators.
Takeaways:
- Single-vehicle crashes often don’t receive the same investigative effort as others.
- Mechanical or safety system failures should always be ruled out.
- Preserving ECM data and other electronic records is critical to telling the full story.
