Commentary:
We do not yet know what may have caused this accident, but lets take a step back and have a good look at this accident from a fresh perspective. If the truck crossed over into oncoming traffic, I’d be very curious to learn the driving schedule this truck was on before the accident. Considering this accident took place at 4:00 in the morning, there is a good chance this driver may have nodded off after driving too many hours. Luckily the distance the truck traveled would all be available in GPS units and Electronic Control Moduoles, all it would take is a trained eye to get to the bottom of what may have caused this accident.
