Scene of the Accident
Commentary:
The news report makes it pretty clear that the victim in the SUV could have been at fault, but this would not be the first news report in history to get something wrong. At first glance it looks like the tow truck driver did everything he could to prevent an accident, but is this accurate? Was he being honest, or trying to keep his job? I’m not pointing fingers by any means, but I’m not going to read an accident report without a grain of salt. I’ve handled hundreds of cases in my 25 years of expereince, and I cant tell you how many times both the police report and news report had be double checked because things didn’t add up.
