I take issue with some reporter diagnosing the cause of an accident with zero knowledge. An accident investigator would never make a snap statement as to the cause of the accident.

From the article: "Cool says investigators are looking at a mechanical failure as the cause of the crash." Cool is with the Tacoma PD....not a reporter....

But it is a reporter writing the article and making the statement. I have found you can never trust the preliminary reports because the news media likes to sensationalize stories. You know, the old line, "If it bleeds, it leads".

However in this case it appears the original conjecture was probably correct if this quote is reported correctly;
"Wilby reportedly called her daughter and said she was looking for a place to pull over because the brakes weren’t working properly, police said.

Then she turned down South 19th Street."
