Commentary on Richard Arcea Car Accident in Fort Worth
With a vehicle disabled on an interstate this early in the morning, it's entirely possible the other driver involved simply had no way to avoid the collision. If the vehicle was in a place where it was not clearly visible or avoidable, then there's only so much one can do to avoid such an obstruction.
However, evidence could show that the victim was reasonably avoidable, in which case authorities would need to look into what that other driver was doing which prevented them from avoiding an otherwise reasonably avoidable accident. Were they on their phone? Fatigued? Drunk after a night at the bar? Maybe nothing like that happened here, but someone losing their life warrants ensuring their loved ones get the full story.
