Many attribute the tragedy primarily to speed, noting the Mercedes approached the intersection at high velocity with no apparent attempt to swerve or brake. Conversely, some observers questioned why the Fiat driver, moving at a slower speed, failed to notice the rapidly approaching vehicle.
Additionally, some have raised concerns about the intersection's traffic management, specifically regarding the presence of traffic lights or speed limit signs.
