It would only matter insofar as it adds up to an explanation of what happened or what caused the accident. In my opinion, if there are too many specifics lacking, it ceases to be a story. If the specifics are none of our business, then perhaps they have no-business wasting the readers time.
To those who say we're never satisfied: It's not our job to know how to run a good newspaper. We rely on the editor to use good judgement. If there are not enough facts to make it a story, maybe it shouldn't be printed. And, in some cases, maybe they could try to get more information. It might just take a phone call.
To help prevent future accidents, it helps to know what causes accidents. Suppose the accident involved a low-speed vehicle trying to drive through the tunnel at an unsafe speed? From what I understand, they are allowed to use the multi modal trails as long as they obey the speed limit. But I have seen them zipping along at a much higher rate of speed than what is allowed. Some might think, "so what," they got what they deserved, but there could have been someone walking or riding their bike in that tunnel.
Another consideration: Careless driving, like careless eating habits, is what drives up Medicare premiums and car insurance premiums too.
Many thanks for all the good replies on this thread.
You-all have a nice day now.
