Commentary on Car Accident on Zaragoza in El Paso
While I don't expect investigators to have the whole puzzle put together so soon, preliminary reports this vague are still frustrating and end up providing more questions than answers. How did the vehicles crash? How fast were they going? Did someone fail to yield, or did something else cause the collision? Were both vehicles in good repair? Were the drivers sleepy, distracted, incapacitated, or in some other way unable to control their cars?

Hopefully police are working on answering those and many other lingering questions so the wreck can be better understood. Of course, I have my misgivings about how far they'll really go for a non-fatal crash like this--between competing priorities and limited resources officers sometimes have to rush through a traffic investigation and put something "good enough" in their reports before moving on. When that happens crucial details may slip through the cracks and anyone looking for answers may come up empty-handed. Is there a risk of that after the El Paso crash?
