Factors That Can Cause a Driver to Lose Control
Losing control over a vehicle can occur as a result of numerous potential factors, such as the driver not paying attention and then overcorrecting. In other cases, drivers may swerve or try to turn away from something in the road, but lose control instead. Speed and reckless driving are often factors in these accidents, especially when they cause serious damage like this.
In this situation, police will investigate the medical condition, physical evidence, and overall witness statements to determine what happened. There was no word on whether or not the driver would be charged.
