Commentary on Bryla Lewis Car Accident in Houston
One of my biggest issues with reports on early morning crashes like this is they leave too much room for people to jump to all kinds of conclusions. I've been helping families with single vehicle wrecks for 30 years now, and it would shock people to see all the different reasons a crash may happen without the driver having any control over the situation. Yet time and time again, I find myself reminding people that things like distraction, alcohol, and speeding--while certainly common--are just some of the many possibilities that a proper investigation is going to look into. So for those tempted to jump to conclusions reading these reports, it would be more productive to learn more about single-vehicle wrecks. It would certainly be better than a grieving family seeing people blame their loved one for something they don't have any clear facts on.
