What Can Lead to a Vehicle Leaving the Roadway?
Vehicle roadway departures can occur for many reasons, including excessive speed, medical emergencies, driver distraction, mechanical failure, or poor weather.
Fire may occur after a severe roadway departure if the fuel system or other vehicle components are damaged. Modern vehicles are designed with safety features to reduce these risks, but high-energy impacts can still result in catastrophic damage. Investigators often review roadway evidence, vehicle damage, weather, and witness statements to better understand the sequence of events leading up to a fatal roadway departure.
