Clearly until there is an outcome from the investigation all of that

Unless the tree jumped in front of his bus then he has to share part of the
blame. No competent driver is going to avoid hitting a car just to drive into
a tree instead.

I don't agree. You aren't aware of everything that's on the footpath at
all times, and when it becomes obvious that remaining on the road will
definitely cause a crash, you don't have time to familiarise yourself
with the consequences of swerving off the road at that location.
