Accidents Do Happen

In light of Kerry Diotte's Saturday commentary

http://andjusticeforall-calgary.blogspot.com/2009/08/perspective-on-traffic-safety.html

I thought this article was worth a brief mention:

http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alberta/2009/08/04/10354476-sun.html

This writer has stated over and over again that human beings -- subject to the condition of being human -- are prone to error. Even police officers can make mistakes.

Though we really have no information in this story as to how the accident happened, and the police haven't made the standard statement -- i.e., something along the lines of "we suspect alcohol is a factor" -- nor have they blamed speed as the demon cause of the crash, we are left to wonder whether this accident was caused by some criminalized or tortious manner of driving, or whether it was just a mistake. We may never know. Having said this, unless more information is revealed, there is no reason to think the collision was anything other than an accident. I just hope nobody was hurt.
