Commentary
A 2:00 a.m. crash is always going to raise red flags, since that’s when bars close. That’s especially true in a college town. However, investigations have to be thorough without jumping to conclusions. So beyond the possibility of alcohol, things like cell phone usage, vehicle defects, roadway conditions, and all sorts of other possible factors need to be a part of the conversation. If authorities aren’t considering all of this, then there may need to be more thorough independent investigations.
