A truck accident can present enough challenges without it involving multiple trucks and leaving a chaotic scene for authorities to both contain and clear up. This is one of the reasons their accident reconstructions sometimes take a back seat. They feel there are higher priorities, which means actual answers about the crash itself can might fly under the radar.
Naturally, a lot of victims and families will see this and decide they’d feel more comfortable having independent professionals look over things to see if there’s any important information slipping through the cracks. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was one such situation.
