How Did This Accident Occur?

An early morning pile-up like this usually comes down to someone being on their cellphone or going too fast as traffic starts to build up toward rush hour. Maybe that happened here. But one thing that concerns me with crashes like this is authorities can become so caught up in clearing the scene and getting traffic moving that they let important details slip through the cracks. Hopefully they’ve worked to secure evidence for closer inspection to ensure they give every possible factors here the attention it deserves.
