Commentary
Right now, there isn’t a lot we know about this accident, so hopefully police will do their job and make sure all the relevant facts are brought to light. Things like skid marks at the scene, as well as the ECM data from the semi are going to help paint a more complete picture as to how this accident actually happened. While it’s completely possible that things played out just as new reports have described, it’s possible that something’s been overlooked. Right now, there don’t seem to be any witnesses to the accident. As a matter of fact, the only person police have been able to talk to has a vested interest in blaming the victim.
