How Did This Accident Occur?

Was one of the drivers distracted, perhaps by a cell phone? Did another vehicle force one of the vehicles involved in the crash out of its lane? Did the Mercedes or the Isuzu have a problem with its steering mechanism?

The only way to answer these questions is to complete a full investigation of this crash, based on witness statements, evidence from the scene, data from the vehicles, cell phone records and any available video footage.
