Commentary:
With any kind of single-vehicle accident, before a victim is shouldered with the blame, I always advise digging deep into the vehicle to see if a mechanical issue caused the accident. We hear of potentially deadly cars getting recalled all the time on the nightly news, and this could very easily be one such car. The problem with recalls though, is that several accidents actually have to happen before a manufacturer will take action. This could be the first of many accidents with this make and model of car, but nobody would know for sure until the wreckage is looked at by the right people.
