How Did This Accident Occur?

Was the Chevrolet driver fatigued or distracted? Did the semi-truck slow or stop suddenly? Did the SUV have an issue with its brakes or steering mechanism? These are among the questions that authorities must address in their investigation.

Investigators likely will work to reconstruct this accident by poring over physical evidence, witness statements, vehicle data and any available video footage. Cell phone records could show what each driver was doing at the time of the crash.

If authorities suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this accident, the vehicles should be examined by a qualified expert in a laboratory setting. Most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for such inspections, in my experience, but the Chevrolet driver’s family deserves to know as much as possible about what caused this crash.
