Having seen countless accidents like this throughout my career, I know just how often cars can lose control and crash without a driver doing anything wrong. A tire blowout is one common reason for that. But some details about this crash suggest that the victim's tires may have been "defective". What does that mean exactly?

I'd have to see evidence for myself to comment on this specific crash, but in general police will call tires defective as a way of saying they were worn or needed to be replaced. They don't usually have the equipment or training to look into something as complex as a manufacturing defect.

That said, they also generally don't have the tools or training to rule out a manufacturing defect. As a result, they can sometimes overlook important details and blame a driver for having a tire blowout when more thorough investigations from trained specialists may show the driver had no way of avoiding the crash. Could it be details like that are going overlooked here?
