Commentary on Maria Palacios, Emnaly Lopez Reyes Car Accident in Harris County
A big challenge I face on this blog is discouraging people from jumping to conclusions about single-vehicle wrecks. They tend to just assume that the driver did something wrong. Is that likely? Certainly. Maybe they were on their phone or fatigued. Maybe they were intoxicated because a bar over-served them the night before, which could make that establishment responsible for the injuries. But does that mean it's okay to overlook less common factors, like mechanical issues or tire blowouts? Of course not. Getting people the help they need means letting the evidence speak for itself. Were steps taken to ensure that happens here?
