Commentary:
I’d be hesitant to jump to any kind of conclusion in this case until the wreckage has been thoroughly examined, because there could be a defect within either vehicle that caused this accident. Nobody who responded to the scene has the x-ray vision necessary to see what needs to be looked at, and these defects are never skin deep. They are usually buried deep within the inner workings of the vehicle, and nobody will find them until the proper people are given access to the information.
