Commentary on Five-Vehicle Crash on I-35 in Round Rock
There isn't much information yet about how exactly this crash happened or what caused it, but considering the damage done a full investigation seems in order. There's a lot of reasons five vehicles might pile up in the road: driver mistakes like speeding or distraction, whether anyone was impaired, if any of the vehicles malfunctioned or had defects, limited visibility in the nighttime hours, bad road or weather conditions, poor signage and road markings, and many other potential issues that might have contributed to the wreck must be considered.
Until more information is available and the picture is clearer it's best not to jump to conclusions, but the years have taught me that a "by the book" police investigation might not find everything there is to know before it concludes. If officers' findings are incomplete or even mistaken, that can cause serious problems for people in search of answers or help down the line. That's why after many accidents I suggest independent investigations by experienced professionals to ensure the whole story is learned. Everyone affected by the crash deserves no less.
