How do you *know* that?
Are there witnesses? How does anyone "know" what exactly happened?

uh, check with your mechaninc, ball bearings don't just go, they detriorate over the course of hours, days or weeks. and they make rubbing and screeching noise and they smoke, long before they fail. if you are talking about ball joints, they don't break suddenly unless you hit something with them. so from a physical defect standpoint, if there was no obstruction or pot hole near the scene or in the road, any mechanical problem would have reared it's ugly head and been ignored long before it caused such a catastrophic accident. ignoring preventative maintenance is penny wise and dollar foolish.
**********

A ball joint WILL fail. How many know what that "klunking" sound is? Sometimes the ball joint fails without any audible warning. Many drive with a bad ball joint for months, and suddendly the front wheel assembly comes apart. It makes no difference how fast she was going, if the ball joint failed, there's NOTHING you can do other than ride it out. And NO inexperienced driver could really know what to do!

So this was a tragic ACCIDENT, that's all, and both my wife and I send condolences to the family.

imjustsayin, ignoring the clunk could have been a contributing factor. not having the money to fix it properly could have been another.

Until there is proof that you can, please refrain from using the phrase 'I think'.
