Scene of the Accident
Commentary:
With any kind of crossover accident, the vehicle that did the crossing over is usually the one found responsible for the accident. Considering this was a teenage driver, I’d be curious to know if texting was involved. The number of texting related accidents and teenagers has been steadily climbing for years now, and all it would take to know for sure is a look at the cell phone and it’s carrier data to see when the device pinged the local cell phone towers.
