How Did This Accident Occur?

We don’t know much about this crash yet, but it my experience it is important not to reach any conclusions until the investigation is complete. That way conclusions can be based on facts, not guesswork or assumptions.

Investigators likely will start by gathering physical evidence, witness statements, data from the dump truck’s engine control module and any available video footage. Cell phone records could show what the driver was doing and track the worker’s movements before the crash.

This kind of investigation should show if the dump truck veered off the road because the driver was distracted, or if the construction zone was not marked off properly to protect workers. Maybe investigators will determine something else caused this crash, but their efforts should provide the worker’s family with a clear picture of what happened on Kenny Road.
