Commentary:
I am most curious about the fire following this crash, while finding the driver is the most important aspect, the fact that the car caught fire after an accident could spell trouble for the manufacturer. The vast majority of cars on the road are designed, engineered and constructed with a high degree of safety and crash survivability. If a part was not up to par in the vehicle, the manufacturer of the part, or the manufacturer of the car itself may bear some liability if their poor design work made this accident worse than it needed to be.
