Commentary:
While there is always a chance this accident was caused by the victim, lets take a hard, subjective look at the accident from an outsiders perspective. Are all vehicles involved in accidents always in perfect working order? If a tire blowout caused the vehicle to cross over, how new were the tires that failed? If they were brand new, was there possibly a defect in the design? These types of failures are more common than most would assume. We all have heard of a product of vehicle recall at some point, but the problem with recalls is several accidents of a similar kind had to have happened before a company will issue a recall.
