The investigation into the accident is being handled by the Arkansas State Police.
Commentary:
I’d be interested in having a look at the trucks tracking data, because based on the news article I am reading here, I’d be willing to bet that the truck bears some portion of the blame here. What makes me say this? Well, just because the victims vehicle ‘lost control’, the fact that the driver could not avoid the accident, because either he was inattentive, or possibly speeding does not mean he is free of blame. If the truck had a chance to avoid the crash, but didn’t, the trucking company could bear some of the fault.
