News reports don’t give any details as to what caused this accident to happen. And while I’ve seen plenty of accidents just like this one happen because someone wasn’t paying close enough attention to the road, I also have to wonder if something could have been wrong with the semi-truck involved. Is it possible the the truck was stopped in the road? As many of you might already know, a semi-truck has very strict procedures it has to follow whenever it makes a stop on the highway. And it has to make them to avoid accidents just like this one. Now, I’m just wondering out loud. It’s very possible the semi-truck did nothing wrong. But again, news reports aren’t saying one way or the other. Hopefully, the investigation into the crash will be able to shed some light on things in the coming days.
