One thing I have to wonder is if witnesses or video footage could help explain where the box in the road came from. It’s possible there was a clearly marked work truck or van that lost it, or perhaps someone was able to get a license plate or a clear description. If that set this whole chain of events into motion, then it may not matter whether or not that driver was still in the area when the crash happened. The law is nuanced enough to trace events like this back to their proximate cause.
