How Did This Accident Occur?
I typically warn people about making assumptions after a crash, but in this instance there is scarcely enough information available to the public to even hazard a guess at what happened.
Were both trucks traveling the same direction, and one rear-ended the other? Did they crash head-on after one drifted out of its lane? Was one truck hit the other while trying to turn onto Barstow Road? We don’t know the answers, making a full investigation a necessity to address the questions left behind for the people who are grieving after this crash.
Investigators will review data from both trucks and evidence from the scene to piece together what happened. Dashcam footage, if available, could prove invaluable.
