How Did This Accident Occur?
Authorities have not put out much information about this crash yet. We don’t know if these vehicles collided during a lane change, or if one rear-ended the other. Maybe it happened because of the intervention of a third vehicle, or maybe the motorcycle or the box truck had a mechanical issue that led to this collision.
We won’t know until authorities complete their investigation, one I hope is built on facts and evidence, not any kind of stereotype about motorcyclists. Most people tend to think of motorcyclists as reckless, but investigators should approach this probe without any kind of preconceptions about what happened because of the vehicles involved.
Authorities should push for an in-depth inspection of the motorcycle to ensure it didn’t have a mechanical problem or manufacturer’s defect that ma have played a role in this crash.
