How Did This Accident Occur?
It is not clear how these trucks collided, based on what has been reported about this crash so far. Did the semi-truck fail to yield as it turned? Or was the dump truck speeding through the intersection? Or did a mechanical issue with one of these trucks contribute to the crash? It’s going to take a full investigation to answer these questions.
Investigators likely will start by gathering witness statements, evidence from the scene, data from both trucks and any available video footage of the crash. Cell phone data may show what the drivers were doing at the time, while the trucks’ maintenance records could offer additional clues. An outside expert likely will be needed if authorities suspect a mechanical problem could have caused this crash. In my experience, most law enforcement agencies don’t have the necessary training to diagnose such problems.
Going through these steps will provide answers for the injured drivers and their families, while showing who was responsible for the crash.
