Default initial observations

What the heck does this mean? I really can't believe the police could possibly say such a thing?

They say it all the time when their initial observations indicate as much. Skid marks or lack thereof, the degree of damage to the car and object(s) it hit, the presence or absence of alcohol odor on the driver and passenger all combine to allow police officers an initial assessment of the cause of an accident. Obviously accident reconstruction and tox screens will verify it.
