How Did This Accident Occur?

I certainly don’t know more than what’s already in the news. It could be that someone was on their phone and not paying attention to the road. Maybe the truck was turning through the intersection trying to beat a yellow light. Maybe this was something unusual or unavoidable, like a vehicle defect. What’s important is that investigators handling the crash have the experience and the tools to look at all of these possibilities equally. Even if something seems unlikely, it can be confidently ruled out with proper investigation. That way, those affected by the crash can have the clearest possible path forward.

Did anyone see this crash or pass by the scene? Let me know in the comments if there’s more to the story.
