As straight-forward as this all may seem, getting a resolution after an accident usually requires more than just determining fault. Victims and families need clear evidence telling their side of the story. Sometimes, the only way to do that is to ask key questions.
1. Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash?
Crashes involving conflicting paths—especially at intersections—demand close analysis. Did investigators confirm which driver had the right-of-way, or whether either vehicle attempted to avoid the collision? If the investigation was limited to surface-level facts, key details like timing and driver behavior may still be missing.
2. Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash?
If the southbound driver failed to stop or steer in time, mechanical failure could be part of the story. Brake issues, steering problems, or faulty sensors could all lead to a failure to yield—even if the driver believed they were doing everything right. Unless both vehicles were inspected, that angle may not have been explored.
3. Has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?
Both vehicles likely contain crash data showing speed, braking, and steering input before impact. That kind of evidence can confirm what each driver was doing in those final seconds. GPS and phone records may also help clarify the circumstances. If that data hasn’t been reviewed, the full story isn’t out yet.
When serious injuries are involved, clarity doesn’t come from assumptions—it comes from asking the hard questions and reviewing all the facts. Are authorities doing that, or will that require more thorough independent investigations.
Key Takeaways:
- Intersection crashes need more than basic fault assignments.
- A vehicle malfunction could explain the failure to yield and should be ruled out.
- Vehicle and phone data can confirm exactly how the crash happened—if collected.
