Commentary on James Earl Cox Car Accident in Hudspeth County
A late night car accident can raise all kinds of concerns, from fatigue to cell phone usage to alcohol. These are all important to consider, but there could be other more complex factors to consider. Unfortunately, folks tend to take for granted that authorities will look into all of that. In reality, they often overlook all but the most common explanations. That's why I always talk about the importance of independent investigations. Considering someone lost their life here, I suspect this incident will be far from the exception.
