Commentary:
People tend to have a serious problem immediately blaming the victims of single-vehicle accidents by quickly chalking it up to driver error, when in reality there could be much more going on than we see at first-glance. I’d be willing to venture that this vehicle was not inspected from top to bottom before this news article was written. As we know with recent events in the news, accelerators can stick and steering columns can lock up. The problem is, we simply wont know if this has happened until the wreckage is inspected by a professional. If this accident was caused by the vehicle, the manufacturer they could be liable for the accident.
