It stands out that authorities didn’t give much information about this tractor-trailer. It’s not even clear if it was stationary or driving at the time. Here’s why that matters.
To be clear, I’m not bringing this up to throw blame around. Rather, unclear details like this can sometimes be a sign that authorities didn’t really give their investigations much attention. That means they may have let details slip through the cracks. Some of those details may prove inconsequential, but some can be absolutely crucial to telling the whole context of what led to the crash.
Maybe authorities here have been thorough and it’s just their public statements that lack clarity. But if they happened to overlook something, it make take more thorough independent investigations to bring that information to light.
