How Did This Accident Occur?
Did the box truck turn when it was unsafe? Did the motorcycle have a problem with its brakes? I don’t claim to know the answer to these questions, but they are the kind of things that investigators must consider as they look into this crash.
Investigators likely will work to reconstruct this accident by poring over physical evidence, witness statements, data from the vehicles and any available video footage. Cell phone records could show what the drivers were doing at the time of the crash.
An outside expert probably will be needed to examine the vehicles if authorities suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this crash, since most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such inspections, in my experience.
This investigation should provide answers to any lingering questions the motorcyclist’s family may have about this accident.
