Another young man, another crash. Thankfully, this car did not break up into 2 pieces, and the driver escaped death, but not serious injuries. So, is the Mitsubishi Lancer built better (sturdier to withstand crash impact) than the Subaru WRX?In the U.S., the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) may investigate and study the safety of the car models and probe into whether there were any design or production defects. Here, I don't think there are any such agencies.
It would fall on The Traffic Police to conduct its studies on how the accident occurred and the State Coroner would determine the cause of death and possibly pass a verdict of misadventure.
The authorities would just rely on the car manufacturers' crash impact studies and presume that all their car models are crashworthy and provide certain levels of safety. Is that adequate?
Should more be done, especially if lives may be saved, and dreams of families preserved?
