How Did This Accident Occur?
Commercial vehicles don’t overturn for no reason, but at this point we don’t know enough to know why this one did.
First off, why did this truck leave the road? Was the driver distracted or fatigued, or was there a problem with the truck’s steering mechanism?
Once the truck drove off the road, why did it overturn? Did its cargo shift because it wasn’t loaded properly?
These questions should be answered by the investigation into this crash. If police can’t provide those answers, maybe an independent investigation will be necessary to help those affected by this crash understand how it happened.
