Commentary
Despite the fact that police have already looked into this accident, I can’t say that a private investigation wouldn’t be advisable. I know a lot of people would read the news reports about this accident and say that the victim got himself killed. But the police only have two people who witnessed the accident, and both of them have a vested interest in blaming the victim for what happened. The main point would be not to rush to judgement. I’ve seen accidents like this caused by all sorts of things, so it may be a good idea to wait until all the facts are in.
