One thing that always concerns me with accidents like this is that they’re not standard vehicles, so authorities may not be used to handling them. That often means this type of accident isn’t seen as a high priority, so unusual or complex factors can easily slip through the cracks. Hopefully authorities here are taking steps to make sure that doesn’t happen. However, it’s often prudent to actively ensure they’re taking those steps. That way, if they aren’t, the accident can be put in the hands of investigators who will be more thorough.
