Commentary on Hannah Smith Car Accident in Shenandoah

Alcohol is obviously a serious possible factor to look into, though it's important to keep in mind that early reports like this aren't always that accurate. For all we know, there were other factors contributing to the crash which need to be addressed. Of course, if someone was over-served by a local bar, that could mean that bar needs to be held responsible through dram shop law for their role in the crash. One way or another, are authorities taking necessary steps to look into all of this? It's common that serious crashes like this are better off in the hands of independent accident reconstructionists. The same could prove true here.
