Commentary
The details in early media reports is always sparse. Unfortunately, even the police reports often leave out important details in their conclusion. We really have no idea based on the information we have available to us at the moment. The only way we can reasonably make any determination as to who is to blame in this accident, we need to examine the matter more thoroughly. Considering there are so many possibilities as to what would cause this accident, we would be doing a disservice to everyone involved if we didn't explore all the angles first.
