Commentary on Car Accident on Donnybrook Ave in Tyler
Something I talk about a lot is how important it is to avoid jumping to conclusions after a single-vehicle wreck. Even if a car crashes into a stationary object as apparently happened in Tyler, that doesn't mean it's okay to jump to conclusions or blame the driver for losing control--not while there are other possibilities that still need careful attention.
Is it possible, maybe even likely, that the driver just made some kind of mistake? Sure. Is it also possible that something out of their hands like a vehicle malfunction or medical emergency played a part? Absolutely. Few crashes really boil down to a single simple factor if investigators commit the time and care to learning the whole truth, but that doesn't always get found through police efforts alone.
