Commentary
Accidents in which more than one commercial vehicle is involved can be a little tricky, because commercial vehicles typically have a very hard time accepting any responsibility when an accident happens. So, the inclusion of more than one of these vehicles lets them point the finger at each other, and because they have the money, no one backs down, and regular passengers hurt in the accident are the ones who suffer. If a commercial vehicle is at fault for an accident — which may not be the case here — it’s going to take evidence to prove it, and that, means an independent investigation. Things like skid marks on the road, or data from the truck’s Electronic Control Module will paint a picture of what the truck was doing in the final moments before the accident. The importance of that information and how it can help a victim of an accident like this really can’t be understated.
