Commentary:
I’m just going off the information I’ve read in the news, but it certainly sounds as if everyone is ready to blame the victim for this accident. While it’s possible that she might not have been paying attention to the road, I think there are other things to consider. What if the accident was caused by unforeseen circumstances, like a mechanical issue with her car? Or a medical emergency? People are usually quick to assume fault in these situations, but I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt before casting blame.
