The causes of these accidents are, as of yet, unknown. Investigations are being done currently to discover what the factors may have been. Our thoughts and support go out to the families and communities of the victims and we sincerely hope that those hospitalized recover quickly. We understand that they may have many questions. Why did the cars cross into the other lanes? Were there vehicle malfunctions? Were these cases of distracted driving? Was there an obstacle in the road that the drivers were attempting to avoid? Could any of these accidents trigger a wrongful death claim?
