How Did This Accident Occur?
We don’t know at this point why this crash happened. Initial reports indicate the truck drove onto the shoulder and crashed into a disabled car. Was the driver distracted? Was he avoiding another vehicle or an object in the road? Did the truck have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? These are the kind of questions that authorities should consider as they investigate this accident.
Investigators working to reconstruct this accident likely will start by gathering physical evidence, witness statements, data from the vehicles and any available video footage. Cell phone records could show what the truck driver was doing at the time.
If authorities suspect a mechanical problem contributed to this crash, a qualified expert should examine the truck in a laboratory setting. Most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such inspections, in my experience, but the injured driver and his family deserve to know as much as possible about what caused this crash.
