People tend to jump to all kinds of conclusions following a wrong-way collision. I understand why that may be, but it's important to consider just how much can go into an accident like this.
Here in Dallas, for example, we had a big problem with wrong-way crashes on one of our tollways. TxDOT did an investigation, and it turned out the signs warning drivers not to enter were too high for the average driver to se properly. After lowering them, there was a significant decrease in the frequency of such accidents.
With that in mind, folks should avoid jumping to conclusions here and focus simply on ensuring there are clear answers for the victims and families involved.
