It’s possible that there’s something about this accident that’s been missed or just isn’t being reported, but I would imagine that any driver who blows a stop sign is driving recklessly, or just isn’t paying attention. Unfortunately, accidents like this one happen far too often. Whenever they, it’s important that the at-fault driver actually be held accountable for it. Accidents are always going to be a part of our lives, but holding drivers responsible for the accidents they cause is a good way to help make sure they happen less and less in the future.
