The first few days after a deadly truck wreck are the most delicate. That’s when investigators need to be securing evidence before it’s moved, altered, or lost in some way. Vehicle data, camera footage, cellphone records, GPS data, blood tests for drugs and alcohol, witness testimony, road markings and debris analysis, etc.

If authorities weren’t able to divert resources to the investigations because they were too focused on clearing the crash site, it may be up to more thorough independent investigations to bring all that evidence to light for the victims and families involved here.
