Commentary:
What exactly went wrong here? Did the brakes fail? Did a jack that was holding the truck fail for some reason? If there was some kind of problem with the parking brake on this truck, then the evidence of such a failure would still be in the wreckage of the truck. If this accident was not due to carelessness, then all it would take to confirm that is an investigator with a set of tools who knows all the right places to look. If there are still nagging questions about this accident, these investigators are always available to you.
