Commentary:
There is a very good chance that this accident was the fault of the victim, based on the news reports, but is this the only possibility? Absolutely not. There could have been a brake light problem, or the lights themselves could have been completely obscured by road grime that kicks up behind the truck, either way, these are the kinds of accidents that need a closer look because the accident investigators believe they already know what happened, and may seek their own answers instead of the truth.
