Commentary on David Singleterry Accident in Lubbock
In my experience, people read about single-vehicle accidents like this and quickly jump to some conclusions about how the driver is at fault. Theories quickly start flying about someone falling asleep, losing control while speeding, or (for the cynical) being under the influence of alcohol.
Are those possible here? Sure--in fact, statistically speaking driver errors are among the most common explanations for solo accidents. Are they the only possible explanation, however? Absolutely not. Things like mechanical defects or medical emergencies may be less common, but they must be considered when trying to connect the dots of what happened. It's crucial to be thorough and ensure sure nothing important slips through the cracks. I wrote more articles like the one linked below to ensure people know to exercise that prudence after accidents like this one.
