Commentary:
While the news article is pretty implicit in blaming the driver of the car, and accident like this one is always worth a second look. Why? Because there is always a chance, and a good one that the news report got the facts wrong. These articles are written based off police reports, which are written by officers that are balancing tending to victims, clearing the road of wreckage, directing traffic, and doing their best to document the evidence. Is it really outside the realm of possibility that there was something overlooked?
