As straight-forward as these reports may seem, it's always important to ensure experienced investigators look into things so the facts can speak for themselves. While this sort of thing usually involves things like inattentive driving, it's also important to consider possibilities authorities may have overlooked.
Were there mechanical issues? Visibility impairments? Poor road design or missing signage? Was someone going at excessive speeds? Is a bar liable for illegally over-serving someone? Did a medical emergency contribute to the crash? Even if something seems unlikely, letting the evidence speak for itself is crucial in getting folks the help they need. Whether or not authorities had the tools and experience to do this remains to be seen.
