How Did This Accident Occur?
Initial reports say this crash happened because the Ram pickup was avoiding traffic on I-35E, but why did the driver have to swerve? Did the vehicle in front of him not have working brake lights?

Those possibilities show why this accident deserves a full investigation, so the injured driver and his family will have a clear picture of what caused this crash.
Answers will come as authorities review witness statements, physical evidence, data from the pickup’s engine control module and any available video footage.
