How Did This Accident Occur?
Police have not released much information about this crash yet. Was the e-bike on the road or the sidewalk? Was the UPS truck slowing to make a delivery or heading to its next stop? Did the driver see the cyclist or was he distracted, perhaps by a cell phone? Did some kind of mechanical issue contribute to this crash? These are the kind of questions that authorities must consider as they investigate this accident.
Investigators likely will start their probe by going over physical evidence, witness statements, data from the truck and any available video of the crash.
Cell phone records could show what the driver was doing at the time of the crash. Investigators also should look at his driving record to see if he has a history of accidents or distracted driving. That could reflect on his employer.
If authorities suspect a mechanical issue played a role in this crash, the truck should undergo a forensic examination by a qualified expert.
This investigation should provide answers to any lingering questions the child’s family has about this accident. Otherwise, they may opt to have an independent investigator look into the crash.
