Commentary
Single-vehicles can present unique challenges simply by virtue of falling low on the list of a police department's priorities. It's important for crashes like this to have thorough accident reconstructions, but authorities aren't always able to do that. That's why it can be important to consider some key questions to gauge whether or not an accident got the attention it needed.
The first key question is whether investigators had the time and equipment needed to thoroughly document the scene. When departments are stretched thin or in a hurry to clear the roadway, evidence like tire marks, debris fields, or the vehicle’s final position can go undocumented. Without those details, critical context may be missing from the final report.
Second, has anyone looked into the possibility of a vehicle defect? Issues like brake or steering failures can cause a car to veer off the road, and if seatbelts or airbags didn’t function properly, that could explain the severity of the injuries. These problems are often overlooked unless someone pushes for a full inspection early on.
Lastly, was crash-related electronic data preserved? Many vehicles store information like speed, braking, and steering input right before a crash. When combined with phone records or potential surveillance footage from cameras in the area, that data can help tell the full story.
If authorities have satisfactory answers to these questions, then that's likely a sign they did good investigations. But if their answers come up short, then it's more likely a sign that there needs to be a secondary investigation to ensure nothing important slipped through the cracks.
