Commentary:
Any time an accident of this kind comes to my attention, I cant help but wonder why people allow the police’s report to be the final word in the accident, when most police officers are not trained extensively in accident investigation, and the tiny bits of evidence that largely go overlooked in initial cursory investigation. I always remind people that a police report is only part of the equation, and both parties involved are permitted to conduct their own investigation, or have a professional investigate it for them. The complete story is important for victims, and knowing the truth behind a crash can help tremendously.
