Commentary on Frankie Milner Accident in Dallas
Police think failure to yield was a key factor in this collision, and while I have no specific reason to doubt their word I wonder if that's really all there is to the story. People would be shocked to learn how many crucial details slip through the cracks during a "by the book" investigation--for instance, how many drivers were unfairly blamed for their crashes before the GM ignition switch defect was discovered?
Is it possible a simple and common driver mistake was behind this unfortunate crash? Of course. Is that the only possible explanation, though? I highly doubt it. If police were hasty in pointing fingers, maybe someone else should look again and see what was missed the first time.
