Commentary on Gary Boaz, Esdras Amaya Car Accident in Lubbock
For a car to apparently leave its lane so suddenly, something has to go very wrong. That's why a lot of accidents like this tend to involve drunk drivers, people on their phone, tire blowouts, or fatigue. However, it's also important to consider less common factors. Something as unusual as a manufacturing defect can lead to a car losing control like this. Perhaps there was something about the roadway itself that led to the incident. At the end of the day, someone lost their life, and another person was seriously hurt. Only looking into common possible factors isn't going to help the families involved here who, at the very least, deserve some answers about what happened.
