How Did This Accident Occur?
People might be quick to write off any situation where a driver rear-ends another vehicle—especially if that other vehicle was parked at the time. However, there are some situations like this where an 18-wheeler is sticking out into traffic, isn’t properly marked, or unnecessarily created an obstacle by stopping for unacceptable reasons (like running out of gas or so the driver can eat or nap).
I’m not saying that happened here, but it’s not apparent one way or the other. So, my hope is that investigators are mapping out the scene, pulling electronic data, and carefully reconstructing the circumstances leading up to the crash. That way, they can help show how avoidable this crash was and if something potentially beyond the victim’s control led to the accident. The sooner these steps are taken, the more evidence will likely be available to preserve.
