Commentary on Brett Wickersham Single-Vehicle Accident in Austin
When it comes to single vehicle wrecks like this, it's important folks understand how complex a proper investigation can be. Is it more likely that the driver was drunk or fatigued? Of course, but one can't rule out things like mechanical issues, road hazards, or medical conditions without clear evidence to do so. Unfortunately, police tend to be too busy to exercise that kind of prudence. That's why it's likely best these details make their way into the hands of more experienced, independent professionals.
