How Did This Accident Occur?

Having been in this line of work for over three decades, I’ve had the opportunity to analyze hundreds of truck accidents. I hope the authorities who are in charge of investigating this wreck are being as thorough and meticulous as they should be. There is still not much public information available regarding this wreck, but we do know that people were hurt. Those people deserve more than a cursory investigation that turns out little more than surface level details.

Additionally, I’ve learned over the years that there is no such thing as a simple truck accident. What were the conditions of the vehicles leading up to the wreck? Were there any underlying mechanical issues? What kind of collision was it? Rear-end? Sideswipe? Head-on? What were the weather and road conditions like? Did it take place before dawn? What were the lighting conditions? Was visibility impaired? What were the conditions of the drivers? Was either one distracted, fatigued, or impaired? Honestly, I could go on and on. These questions and more should be asked and answered by any investigation worth its salt.
