Right now, news sources don’t say why the accident happened. The two vehicles collided head-on. Did one of them cross the road’s center line? That’s going to make a pretty big impact on how the accident is handled going forward. With that in mind, an independent investigation may be a good option here. Police investigations can be very short, and miss things. When you take into account the fact that evidence is going to be key in any accident involving a commercial vehicle, the investigation into what happened takes on an even greater importance.
