Commentary
It seems as if this is an accident in which the police report isn’t going to do us much good. Unfortunately, police reports don’t always do a good job at telling us who’s at fault for an accident. In this case specifically, I can imagine a scenario in which the victim is at fault, and another in which Edwards is to blame. Did Edwards turn into the victim’s path when he shouldn’t have? Was the victim speeding? We don’t know. In these cases, looking into a private investigation is always a good idea. I’ve run several in my years as an attorney, and have always been able to make clear situations which a police report makes seem somewhat muddled.
