How Did This Accident Occur?

Police have not released much information about this crash yet. I hope that is because investigators are busy trying to reconstruct this accident, not because they don’t know what happened. That is OK for now, because the investigation is just starting, but it should yield answers about this crash.

Was the bicyclist on the sidewalk or in the road? Was the delivery truck driver distracted at the time of the crash? Did the truck have any issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? These are the kind of questions that authorities should consider as they work to reconstruct this accident.

Physical evidence, witness statements, data from the truck and any available video footage should help, while cell phone records could show what the truck driver doing at the time of the crash.

A qualified expert may need to examine the delivery truck if investigators suspect a mechanical problem contributed to the crash because most law enforcement agencies aren’t equipped for such inspections, in my experience.

This investigation should provide the cyclist’s family with a clear picture of what happened on Campbellton Road.
