According to authorities, the accident occurred in the northbound lanes of Interstate 55 in the vicinity south of Cunningham Street.

How Did This Accident Occur?
There are still so few details available to the public regarding this accident that I would caution others from making any assumptions. Better to be as patient as we can as we wait for additional details to be released after the investigation is complete. In the meantime, I do hope the authorities who are in charge of investigating this accident are being thorough and asking the right kinds of questions.
Truck accidents are often layered. There is the physical evidence at the scene, yes, but it might be prudent to look into driving schedules, maintenance logs, and route planning for the 18-wheeler. If there were corners being cut by the company with which the truck is affiliated, then there might be people who hold a portion of responsibility for the outcome of the wreck who were not at the accident scene, itself.
If it seems that the authorities are falling short in some aspects of the investigation, then a third party investigations can be done in order to take up the slack and make sure that all bases are covered. After all, everyone who had a role in the wreck should be held accountable.
