It’s not exactly unusual for there to be few details so soon after a chaotic commercial truck accident. They can be incredibly challenging to investigate, and authorities might be preoccupied just cleaning up the scene and getting traffic going that they overlook some of the more complex factors. It’s one of the reasons commercial vehicle accidents tend to fare better in the hands of independent accident reconstructionists. Perhaps those steps here will prove necessary if the victims and families involved find they’re not getting any answers from police.
