Commentary:
The fact pattern reported in the news article makes me anxious to get trained eyes on the wreckage left after the accident. Why? Because the police responding to the scene would have never been able to see any possible mechanical problem that caused this accident. All responding personnel see is driver error, skids, and wreckage. If this accident was not caused by a driver miscalculation, then the answer could lie within the inner workings of the vehicle, all it would take is a trained eye to say for sure.
