How Did This Accident Occur?

It is not clear at this point how these two trucks came together. Did one rear-end the other? Did they collide while changing lanes? Did some sort of mechanical issue contribute to crash? These are the kind of questions that investigators must consider as they work to piece together what happened on I-20.

Data from the truck’s engine control modules will show speed, braking and throttle inputs that can help reconstruct this accident. Physical evidence, witness statements and any available video footage will be part of the process as well. Cell phone records can show what each driver was doing at the time of the crash.
