Was it caused by carelessness?  The news makes a big deal of this, perhaps 
because of diplomatic immunity.  I'd rather look at whatever in depth 
investigation may have been done.

Carelessness?  Well, anytime anything doesn't happen perfectly, there can be 
accusations of carelessness.  Always part of the answer.  But there are degrees 
to just about everything.  Was it dark?  What was the visibility?

Just yesterday I was driving, nearing a traffic light, and the sun low on the 
horizon totally blinded me.  I knew the light was there, but I could not see it. 
  Mitigating circumstances happen all too often.

I'm not aware of any results of an in depth investigation being made public. 
Actually, I've not been interested.
