There’s obviously a lot of information not available in these initial reports, and that leaves a lot of questions. One that stands out to me is how the driver sustained serious injuries. Usually, a person hitting a much smaller vehicle isn’t going to come out too badly. It makes me wonder if anything unique happened here that would explain the serious outcome.
