The investigation is being handled by representatives from the Stillwater Police Department working with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
Commentary:
I’ve noticed that any time there is a vehicle-crossover head-on collision, the newspapers always tend to favor the truck driver, when coincidentally, the truck driver is the only surviving eyewitness. Needless to say, there is ample room for skepticism. Truthfully, there is no way of knowing for certain which vehicle crossed the center line until the accident scene can be properly investigated, and the skid marks on the road tell us a more accurate version of what has transpired.
