It’s not unusual for there to be few details so early after a commercial truck wreck. They can involve far more complex issues than a typical car accident. Investigations have to be more thorough to account for that, which is why it’s important to make sure authorities are up to that challenge. I can’t begin to count how many accidents have come across my desk where it turned out authorities barely scratched the surface before simply moving on. If that happens here, something important could slip through the cracks.
