How Did This Accident Occur?
At this time of night, it’s easy to assume this crash was caused by driver error or fatigue, but assumptions rarely lead to the truth after vehicle accidents. That only comes from a thorough investigation built on solid evidence, so prove or refute every possible cause.
Did another vehicle force this pickup off the road? Did the driver swerve to avoid an object in this path? Did the pickup have a mechanical problem that affected its steering of brakes? I don’t pretend to know the answers to these questions, but investigators should keep them in mind as they scrutinize data from the truck’s engine control module, evidence from the scene and any available video footage of the crash.
The injured driver and his family deserve to know exactly how this crash unfolded.
