How Did This Accident Occur?

Without knowing more details about this accident, it might be tempting, for some, to make assumptions about it being caused by driver error. While that is certainly one possibility, I’m not ready to settle on that conclusion before the investigation is complete. Why? Because after three decades of this career, I’ve seen plenty of similar truck accident cases where evidence of less likely causes ended up being unearthed through thorough investigation.

I don’t want to give the appearance that I somehow know more about this specific accident than is already publicly available, by the way. As far as I know, driver error—whether it was due to distraction, fatigue, impairment, et cetera—is still on the table as a possible cause. However, I simply want suggest a hypothetical. What if, rather than driver error, the wreck was a result of something gone wrong with the truck itself? What if it had been dealing with something like a tire blowout or a steering mechanism issue? Yes, I’m well aware that these scenarios are not very likely, but that does not mean that they should be automatically ruled out without any real consideration.

An in-depth vehicle inspection done by trained professionals in a laboratory setting would be able to uncover any mechanical malfunctions or product defects that had a hand in the accident so that they don’t fly under the radar. I’d also be interested in knowing the maintenance history of the truck in order to see whether or not required inspections or maintenance were skipped when they should not have been. Why? Because if so, then it’s possible that there were people whose decisions directly affected the wreck and its outcome, even though they were not physically at the scene.

Hopefully, the authorities are being meticulous and openminded as they investigate. However, should their work seem shortsighted, a third-party investigation can always take a look, as well. It never hurts to have a second perspective go over things in order to ensure nothing important falls through the cracks.

After all, the people affected by this accident—the loved ones left behind by the deceased—deserve to be given a clear and detailed picture of not only how it happened, but also why. They certainly don’t need vague assumptions that do little more than conveniently place all the blame on the shoulders of the victim. That kind of surface-level investigation just won’t cut it.
