How Did This Accident Occur?
It’s far too early to speculate about what happened here, but I think it’s important people know some things to look for after any serious truck wreck. I’ve been a part of hundreds of commercial vehicle accident investigations, and there are common things authorities might overlook. One thing to consider is if authorities have pulled vehicle data.
Most modern commercial trucks and passenger vehicles have Engine Control Modules, or ECMs. These are onboard computers which may store a lot of crucial data, including the vehicle’s speed, braking, and steering inputs in the moments surrounding the crash. This can be used along with physical evidence at the scene to help recreate the events of the crash and shine a light on the behavior of the drivers involved.
Too often, though, authorities either lose track of this evidence or overlook it entirely. This can be a sign that the crash might be getting the attention it deserves, and that gives families an opportunity to look for more thorough independent investigators who can pick up the slack. So, if authorities here are looking at vehicle data, then hopefully that means they’re on track to get clear answers for all involved in this crash.
