Commentary:
The details surrounding the news in this accident are fairly vague, but from what I can see, the fault is probably going to rest on whichever vehicle was supposed to yield, unless the news muddled the facts of what happened. I’ve seen plenty of news reports confuse and omit crucial details, so if anybody knows more about this accident, I’d be interested to hear what they know.
