How Did This Accident Occur?

At this point, we don’t know why these vehicles collided. I’d caution against reaching any conclusions about what happened until more details are known. There’s no way to know for sure what happened until the investigation is complete.

Investigators likely will consider typical factors like driver error or fatigue, but they should also look into the possibility that one vehicle had a tire blowout or a lane departure warning system failure. It is important for authorities to consider these possibilities to get to the bottom of what caused this collision.
