How Did This Accident Occur?
It is not clear how this crash happened, with pedestrians using a crosswalk and a crossing guard on duty. Was the truck driver distracted, or in a hurry? Did driver have a clear view of the crosswalk before the light turned green? Did the truck have a throttle problem that caused unexpected acceleration? I don’t claim to know the answers, but these are the kind of questions that investigators should consider as they work to reconstrut this accident.
Investigators likely will start by gathering physical evidence, witness statements, data from the truck and any available video footage. Dash-cam footage, if available, could show what the driver saw, or didn’t see, while cell phone records could show if the truck driver was texting or interacting with an app.
A qualified expert should examine the truck if authorities suspect a mechanical issue contributed to this crash, since most law enforcement agencies don’t have the time or training for that kind of inspection.
A thorough investigation should provide the injured pedestrians and their family with a clear explanation of what happened on Ocean Avenue.
