John, saying speed was a factor in a fatal crash isn't saying that someone was speeding. You crash head on with both vehicles do 5 MPH and no one is going to die. Crash the same to vehicles head on with both doing 50 and someone could well die. At 5 they wouldn't have died. So even if they were on a 55 MPH road speed was a factor. Other factors then need to be addressed. Were they distracted? Not to hard for the cops to get cell phone activity. Just because the phone in question was not involved in a call or active texting doesn't mean that the driver didn't get a text and glance at the phone to see who it was from. But factually every wreck has one common thing. Speed. Now that's different from saying the the major contributing factor to that accident was speed. Don't really see many wrecks where the cops claim the accident was cause by speed alone. Often it's listed as a contributing factor. Has a semi cross the center line about 2 miles from my drive. Hit a car head on. 16 year old kid one his way to school died. A semi hitting a car with both vehicles doing close to 60 MPH? The accident was cause by the truck driver falling asleep behind the wheel. But you can say speed was a factor too. Had they both been doing 20 most likely no one would have died. Had another just west of Battle Lake. Young woman went to pass a semi and hit another head on. Truck was doing about 60. The driver she tried to pass claims he was doing right at 60. She was in a rush to get to college classes. Major contributing factor was her decisions. Yes speed was a factor.
