How Did This Accident Occur?
Initial reports note bad tires and equipment failure, but it still isn’t clear at this point what caused this crash.
Authorities likely will rely on vehicle data, physical evidence, witness statements and any available video footage to reconstruct this accident, but it will probably take a forensic examination of the truck to sort thing out.
The exam should be done by a qualified expert in a laboratory setting. That is not something most law enforcement agencies are equipped to handle, in my experience, but the injured driver and his family deserve to know as much as possible about this crash.
This investigation also should include scrutiny of the trucking company to see if delayed maintenance played a role in this crash.
