How Did This Accident Occur?

It’s easy to assume a crash like this was caused by driver fatigue, but I’ve been part of enough accident investigations in my career to know that assumptions or guesswork are no substitute for facts.

Investigators, either police or an independent third party, must gather facts by poring over evidence from the scene, data from the pickup’s engine control module and any available video footage of the crash. The driver’s cell phone records may include useful information as well.
