Commentary on Lee Bonner Whipkey 18-wheeler Accident in Burnet County
It's always important to take early reports like these with a grain of salt. It isn't that I think these reports are mistaken or incomplete. It's simply that many people come to me with similar reports, and further investigations show that police weren't as thorough as one would hope. As a result, victims and families aren't always getting the answers they deserve.
Whatever happened here, someone lost their life. Instead of jumping to conclusions, it's best to focus on what can be done to ensure the victim's loved ones know they're getting the whole story.
