Commentary:
This is the type of accident where the wreckage needs a good hard look to see what may have happened. While most people have a tendency to pin these types of accidents on the drivers the first chance they get, that really isn’t the way to conduct an investigation. We all know cars suffer problems, and with recent reports in the news about sticking accelerators, we know the consequences of these problems can be devastating and far-reaching. If this accident was caused by one such catastrophic error, nobody will ever know until they get a solid look at the wreckage.
