Commentary
There are still a lot of questions we’re waiting to have answered here. Which truck caused the accident? Was speeding a contributing factor? Alcohol? Driver inattention? Until those questions are answered, it’ll be tough to find a way forward. Reports have said that the truck that caught fire was hauling some sort of petroleum product. Is it possible that it wasn’t properly secured, and that this contributed to the driver losing his life? At this point in the investigation, where things really could go anywhere, it’s important to examine all the possibilities.
