Road design, safety and Vision Zero

[neonjoe]

It's interesting that "the vehicle lost control", and that the operator of the vehicle apparently had nothing to do with the incident.

Typically the case for this would be a poorly maintained vehicle, for example:  inappropriate tires, worn linkages, etc. Although there have been cases where the manufacturer is at fault and these cases tend to lead to recalls.
I would say the operator/owner is always responsible and should know what to do when something fails in the vehicle.
