Authorities are investigating after a car accident left one person dead on the afternoon of March 25th. According to official statements, a Ford F-150 operated by Loebardo Delgadillo was traveling northeast on US 60 in the when for unknown reasons the pickup traveled through a construction area where it struck a pile of retaining walls.

When first responders arrived on the scene, they found that Delgadillo had sustained fatal injuries and he was pronounced deceased on-site. At this time there has been no further information released from the accident, including what caused the truck to drive into the construction area, however this remains an ongoing investigation and more details may be released by authorities in the future.

When a driver loses their life in a single-vehicle crash, especially under circumstances that are not immediately clear, the public often assumes the driver must have made a mistake. But experience tells me that assumption can overlook crucial facts. In any case where a crash results in a fatality—particularly one involving a construction zone—three key questions must be asked to ensure we understand what really happened: Did the authorities thoroughly investigate the crash? Has anyone looked into the possibility that a vehicle defect caused the crash? And has all the electronic data relating to the crash been collected?

First, it’s essential to examine whether investigators conducted a thorough review of the crash. The report indicates that a Ford F-150 driven by Loebardo Delgadillo entered a construction zone and struck a pile of retaining walls. That raises immediate questions: Was the construction area clearly marked? Were there proper barriers and signage in place? Was the driver navigating a detour or temporary lane shift? These are details that may not be apparent unless the scene is carefully documented and evaluated—ideally with photos, measurements, and perhaps even a 3D scene scan. Whether that level of investigation happens often depends on the training and resources available to the responding agency, which can vary widely.

The second question—whether a vehicle defect could have contributed—is especially important in single-vehicle crashes. The Ford F-150 is a widely driven model, but that doesn’t mean it’s immune to issues. Problems with the power steering system, brake components, or electronic throttle control could cause a loss of control, especially at highway speeds. Identifying such defects usually requires a forensic inspection of the vehicle, something that often doesn’t happen unless someone explicitly requests it and the vehicle is preserved. Too often, the vehicle is quickly released or scrapped before an expert can examine it, which means a critical opportunity to discover the root cause is lost.

Lastly, the question of electronic data is one that’s frequently overlooked but can be extremely revealing. The F-150 is equipped with an electronic control module (ECM), which can capture key information in the seconds before a crash—speed, braking activity, throttle position, steering angle, and more. This data can help determine whether the driver took evasive action, whether the vehicle responded appropriately, or whether there was a sudden failure. Cell phone records and nearby surveillance footage may also shed light on the moments before the crash. But all of this evidence is time-sensitive and must be collected quickly before it’s lost.

What happened to Loebardo Delgadillo is undeniably tragic, but without answers to these three questions, we can’t say with confidence what led to his death. It’s not about assigning blame—it’s about making sure we don’t miss something important. For his family and for anyone navigating construction zones on our highways, we owe it to them to investigate every angle and preserve every piece of evidence. That’s the only way to ensure that no factor—human, mechanical, or environmental—is overlooked.
